Workwear for the Modern Woman
Department store Sogo & Seibu is launching a new private brand, "LIMITED EDITION by KARL LAGERFELD," featuring Karl Lagerfeld, one of the world's most famous designers, as its special guest designer.
The "Karl Lagerfeld" brand, founded by Lagerfeld himself, is edgy, cool, and urban. Every item reflects Lagerfeld's vision of authenticity.
This collaboration merges the mode power of "Karl Lagerfeld" with the quality-focused concept of Sogo & Seibu's private brand, LIMITED EDITION, realizing a dream partnership.
The collection is designed for the working woman's lifestyle, divided into three lines: "Formal," "Work," and "Business Trip." "Formal" focuses on suits and sets, "Work" offers versatile separates and dresses for daily wear, and "Business Trip" emphasizes functionality and mix-and-match ease.

Beyond apparel, the collection boasts an attractive range of small items, from bags and cardholders to pochette bags. With jackets starting at ¥23,000, coats at ¥24,000, bottoms at ¥9,900, blouses at ¥9,900, dresses at ¥19,000, and accessories from ¥3,000, the accessible price points are another key appeal.



Karl Lagerfeld himself praised the collection, saying, "These are clothes I would want to wear if I were a woman." It's a collection of cute and sweet pieces for Japanese women.
We want to offer career women in their 30s and 40s, aiming for future leadership roles, a sophisticated and elegant work style that's a step ahead.
