Karl Lagerfeld, head designer and creative director of fashion house Chanel, is set to launch a personalised footwear line. The “Karl Kustomize” sneakers will be available online from July 7.

Customers will be able to customise ten aspects of the sneakers, including shoelaces, uppers, linings and trims. The range will be available online and in Chanel’s flagship stores in Paris, London and Munich. Each pair will take six weeks to manufacture. 

Two sneaker designs customised by Mr Lagerfeld are currently on display at the flagship stores, alongside examples of pairs personalised by Chanel customers.
