Karl Lagerfeld is both fashion forward and technologically forward, working with COREaudiovisual production company and using the latest, cutting- edge Apple technology, such as Final Cut Studio, the HD video production suite, to enable this breakthrough production. The runway show will be taped in HD and edited on-site using Final Cut Pro editing software with Motion- based graphics added in a near real-time process. Additionally, Aperture, Apple's new all-in-one post production tool for pro photographers, will enable Karl Lagerfeld to immediately compare thousands of images, swiftly culling down to select moments from the runway.

This innovative process allows for not only HD output used at the event, but also for video Podcasting of the show, which will be available for download via iTunes that evening. This will be the first time a designer has brought fashion and technology together in this revolutionary way.

The Podcast will be featured on iTunes, as well as linked to the fashion house's website (http://www.karllagerfeld.com/).
