He has received the Lucky Strike Design Award from the Raymond Lewy Foundation, the cultural prize from the German Photographic Society, and the ICP Trustees Award at the International Center of Photographys Infinity Awards in 2007. Karl Lagerfeld, fashion designer, book dealer and publisher, began working as a photographer in 1987. Kirkland famously depicted Marilyn Monroe, has photographed on the sets of more than 100 films, and was named Photographer of the Year by the PhotoImaging, Manufacturers, and Distributing Association in 2002. First an apprentice to Irving Penn, he began his independent career at Look and Life magazines in the 1960s and 1970s.
(Karl Lagerfeld) Douglas Kirkland was born in Toronto and spent much of his career in New York City before moving to Los Angeles in the 1970s. Through Kirklands images we can imagine what the famous Coco had been all about before she became the formidable Chanel. Images left behind are in the end stronger than truth and facts. Karl Lagerfeld has conceived and designed Mademoiselle, as well as written an introduction and captions to Kirklands photos. These photos reveal both the working fashion icon and the sympathetic character beneath, showing Mademoiselle leaving her suite at the Ritz Hotel, in her apartment and studio at 31 rue Cambon, and watching a défilé from the famous mirrored staircase. Mademoiselle presents photographs of Coco Chanel taken by Douglas Kirkland in 1962 on assignment in Paris for the American magazine Look.
