Karl Lagerfeld Designs French Larousse Dictionary

The 2009 edition of the famous French illustrated dictionary, Le Petit Larousse Illustré will be designed by Karl Lagerfeld. The designer’s love of books is not something surprising as his personal library is apparently the size of a ballroom. Karl illustrated the cover of the dictionary with original Larousse motif featuring La Semeuse, or the Seed-Scatterer, who is a beautiful woman blowing the seeds of knowledge. In Karl’s design, La Semeuse wears a pair of elegant blue, elbow length gloves. The outer black case of the dictionary features the photo-realistic sketch of the creative man himself, Lagerfeld accompanied by the silver phrase, “Habillé par Karl Lagerfeld,” which means “Dressed by Karl Lagerfeld.”

Le Petit Larousse Illustré is a must have for any French language lover or student of the romance language. It contains definitions of words combined with “little cultural edification” as well as explanations of various subjects. Although, anyone can look up Google or the internet in general for instant translations, Le Petit Larousse Illustré offers something extra with its French sense of humour and high cultural taste. In the 2009 edition, Karl Lagerfeld is featured in the proper nouns sections if the dictionary, which already includes Brad Pitt, Bjork and Marion Cotillard. According to WWD, the edition will be released on November 4th. It is already on my shopping list!
