A portrait of fashion’s emperor—composed entirely of its queen. In “Karl Lagerfeld 1,” Maximilian Wiedemann pays homage to two titans of haute couture by embedding Anna Wintour, frame by frame, into the very structure of Lagerfeld’s iconic silhouette.

From afar, the image is unmistakably Karl—sunglasses, white collar, commanding poise. But step closer, and the pixels reveal Wintour: her signature bob and dark glasses multiplied in precise rhythm. It's a dialogue of influence, rendered in ink and texture.

Wiedemann’s silkscreen method collapses time and identity. Every layer of spray paint serves as both homage and illusion, celebrating the creative codependence between Lagerfeld and Wintour—the designer and the editor who shaped generations of taste from behind dark lenses.

A bold statement piece for collectors in the fashion world or lovers of contemporary pop-conceptual art, this work isn’t just a portrait. It’s a layered meditation on legacy, image, and the power of editorial influence in shaping how we remember icons.

Own a piece of the fashion myth—one stitched not in fabric, but in faces.
