WHERE'S KARL?

Michelle Baron Ajiri A. Aki Stacey Caldwell

A fashion-forward parody crossing everyone's favorite childhood character hunt with the world's most iconic designer.
This picture book for grown-ups unexpectedly twists the beloved classic Where's Waldo?. It trades in the title character for the instantly-recognizable Karl Lagerfeld, and replaces that red striped shirt and glasses with a sleek black suit and sunnies. The fictional blogger/narrator Fleur leads readers through some of fashion's most fabulous scenes around the world: The Met Gala in New York City; Coqui Coqui beach in Tulum; Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo. Peppered throughout the chic illustrations are other instantly recognizable divas and tastemakers, from Anna Wintour to Jay-Z and everyone in between.

Illustrator Michelle Baron breathes life to this great concept that has potential to become a cult classic. Her work is stunning and it hits exactly the right notes with its sassy tone and bright, bold color. Major personalities and other fun items are hidden in every single scene. Whether or not readers are actually playing the game, they'll enjoy the eye candy.
