"Once he sees something, you could be done in five minutes and you don't even realise you've finished the entire thing because he just knows exactly what he wants," says Kristen Stewart.
"What's so incredible about shooting with Karl is that he really knows how to bring out the best in someone, which then brings out the best in the clothes," Lily-Rose Depp adds.
The shoot also stars actresses Keira Knightley, Vanessa Paradis, Lily Collins, Jemima Kirke and Julianne Moore, alongside supermodels like Stella Tennant and Alice Dellal.
Saatchi Gallery's Mademoiselle Privé exhibition is free and opens its doors from 13 October - 1 November.
From a spring/summer 2014 supermarket sweep to an autumn/winter show protesting women's rights. If Karl Lagerfeld can morph into an advocate for feminism in the fashion industry, then anyone can.

After watching Emma Watson's speech on gender equality, Taylor Swift told Tout Le Monde En Parle:"I wish when I was 12-years-old I had been able to watch a video of my favorite actress explaining in such an intellectual, beautiful, poignant way the definition of feminism. Because I would have understood it. And then earlier on in my life I would have proudly claimed I was a feminist because I would have understood what the word means."

Herstory is history written from a feminist perspective, emphasising the role of women, or told from a woman's point of view.We're pretty sure that Emma Watson's speech, Beyoncé's VMA performance, the Chanel show (et al) will go down in herstory.
