Julien Macdonald - Designer Profile - Videofashion

Description:London’s “King of Bling,” Julien Macdonald, initially found fame as a knitwear designer. His cobweb-like creations caught the eye of Karl Lagerfeld, who hired him to spin his gossamer-fine fantasies for the Chanel and Lagerfeld collections from 1996-1998. Macdonald launched his namesake line in 1997, and his work has expanded beyond just knits—he has instilled a sense of high-octane glamour into London Fashion Week. (1:55)
