Portrait of the artist as a bear

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld teams up with traditional German teddy bear maker Steiff to create the “Karl Lagerfeld bear” for his 70th birthday.

Only 2,500 of the limited edition bears have been made, and each one comes with an outfit designed in Lagerfeld’s Paris atelier. But this bear has a correspondingly haute couture price tag.
