Karl Lagerfeld unveils new collaboration… but it’s more wetsuit than catsuit
You wouldn't look out of a place on a beach in this getup
WE’RE no stranger to fashion designers coming up with weird and wonderful creations.
From the likes of Balenciaga selling a bizarre layered coat for thousands of pounds to ASOS selling a crop top for men, there’s no shortage of questionable designs on the market.

And Karl Lagerfield’s new collaboration with Kaia Gerber - - has some interesting pieces.
The veteran designer has teamed up with the LA based model for a capsule collection, which features jackets, dresses, jumpers, tops, accessories – and something that looks like a wetsuit.
The KARL x KAIA Jersey Catsuit is giving us serious sea vibes, and we don’t mean palm trees and cocktails.
The £315 outfit wouldn’t look out of place on the beach – on a surfboard.

- KARL x KAIA Jersey Catsuit, Karl Lagerfield, £315 –
Just like a regular wetsuit, the designer outfit also features a zipper puller.
The website describes it as “eye-catching”, with a tight fit which hugs the silhouette.
And those “contrasting seams complete the look”.

- Waterproof Womens W30 2.5mm wetsuit, Simplyscuba, £118 –
If you’re digging the vibe but don’t have a several hundreds of pounds spare, you pick up this near-identical wetsuit for less than half the price.
The waterproof women’s wetsuit, from Simply Scuba, costs just £118.
The KARL x KAIA collaboration goes on sale from August 30, initially in Revolve stores and on the Karl Lagerfield website.
Revolve said they were “certain the collection will be well received”.
