Madam Kighal's Astrology

Karl Lagerfeld Astrology

Photoshoot

A fabulous find, this star sign shoot sees a top designer gather his fashion friends for ‘It’s All In The Stars’, an editorial from the September 2005 issue of Harper’s Bazaar. It features fashion designers with each one representing their birth sign of the zodiac, and the models featured in the shoot are born under the star signs too. I wonder what the energy on set was like? Scroll to see all the photos from Karl Lagerfeld’s astrology photo shoot or view the article here: part 1, part 2.

Taurus Donatella Versace

“Taureans love security – true! This is why my home and family are so important to me. We go out of our way to create comfort around us and are fiercely protective of our families”.

This image above shows a young Taurus Jessica Stam, with Donatella Versace.

The article reads:

“As a Taurus (whose symbol is the stubborn bull), Donatella Versace agrees that she, like many born under her sign, “has fixed ideas about what I like. I follow my own instincts, even if it means not adhering to what everybody else is doing.”

“Taureans are “renowned for our temper, and even though I am normally very easygoing, I can charge at those who make me really angry. They also say Taureans are good with their hands, and I read once they make good dressmakers or often make their own clothes. Not far from the truth!”

Libra Donna Karan

“People think Librans are extroverted, but we’re oftentimes very introverted. It’s living in two worlds and trying to find the balance”.

Libra Fashion Designer, Donna Karan

Lovely Libra Fashion Designers

Karan has been known to change important dates and details based on her astrologer’s advice and even designed a line of handbags for each of the zodiac signs. In the article, she says of the ancient practice:

“Astrology has affected so many aspects of my life.

“I work with a wonderful astrologer, Maria Napoli. As a Libra, I live in two worlds and try to find a balance – I’m creative, but I find it very difficult to make decisions. And I hate boring. So it is a sort of masculine and feminine in my life and in my clothes, function versus fantasy, the tailored versus the flowing; and I have always worked with a lot of back and white. There’s always that contradiction in my clothes.”
