Wondrously enormous and intricate paper roses, magnolias and camellias were transformed into beautiful paper-flower tiaras. According to Karl Lagerfeld, to prepare for the collection, he cleared everything away and “started with a clean sheet of paper.” The result was a flutter of Spring, a stunning celebration of magic and romance . . .
