BEHIND THE SUNGLASSES: ANITA BRIEY


Behind the scenes at every Maison are talented people who help bring every collection to life. One of Karl’s right-hand women was Anita Briey, the Former Couture Atelier Director of KARL LAGERFELD. In their 25 years of collaboration, Anita was one of a select number of people who helped translate Karl's original sketches into physical garments — though she says his level of precise detail made her job easy to complete.​

"IT WAS ALWAYS VERY ENJOYABLE TO WORK IN KARL'S ATELIER; THERE WAS A GOOD AMBIANCE AND NICE ENVIRONMENT. WE LAUGHED ALL THE TIME WITH KARL — HE LIKED PEOPLE AND HE HAD A GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR!" - Anita Briey

Anita’s interest in sewing began when she was a young girl, and she spent her entire career working as a seamstress at Maisons in Paris. Discover her special memories and anecdotes in this episode of Behind the Sunglasses: The Real Karl.
