Kit Butler joins Paris Hilton for Karl Lagerfeld’s fall-winter 2026 campaign. Matt Easton photographs the latest chapter of “From Paris With Love” against stacks of retro televisions broadcasting NOT-KARL, a digital character modeled on the designer’s unmistakable likeness. The sunglasses and high collar remain firmly in place on screen; Isabelle Kountoure’s styling allows Kit more latitude.

His black tailoring falls into loose trousers, an open neckline loosens the mood, and heavy lace-up boots give the suit a less ceremonial footing. Even a dark checkerboard suit worn over a turtleneck feels approachable through his casual lean. Alongside Paris in pinstriped tailoring, Kit belongs to the same monochrome world, though his tousled hair and slouch suggest he has made himself comfortable there. Karl supplies the dress code. Kit shows how much personality can fit inside it.
