Designer Karl Lagerfeld meets the audience after the presentation. "The concept is (a) modern, international version of typical Korean mood, how we see it for the modern 21st century but with inspiration from the past," the designer told reporters at the show. "I love traditional Korean clothes, materials, patterns." REUTERS/Thomas Peter

The show was the first the brand had staged in South Korea. Asked about the location, Lagerfeld said: "Korea is ... mysterious, less known in a way so I saw it was the right moment to do it." REUTERS/Thomas Peter
