Karl Lagerfeld has photographed lavish editorials for the French fashion magazine Numéro for the past 15 years, capturing muses like Cara Delevingne and Linda Evangelista in an array of haute couture. The book Numéro Couture, by Lagerfeld and Numéro’s founder, Babeth Djian, celebrates the collaboration while showcasing the designer’s eye for cinematic stagings — from Hollywood sets to galactic forests and city streets. Click ahead to see his most opulent spreads from the book, out next month from Steidl.
