When Plain Ol' Clapping Hands Won't Do, Send a Karl Lagerfeld Emoji

The fashion set's getting major emoji-nal in 2014. For Fashion Week in February, we saw haute couture emojis from Harper's Bazaar, and now in honor of his eponymous new fragrance, we have the Karl Lagerfeld emoji collection. Set your downloading finger to emotiKarl, a free app for iOS and Android that puts the cult charms of Karl in the midst of your most important missives. Included in the dozens of emotiKarls is his famous feline, Choupette; those trademark gloves; and bottles of his new perfume (it's a promotional app, after all).

The app's a little more complicated than you'd actually want for sending rapid-fire text messages. Though you can compose a full message in emotiKarl, it can't be installed as an alternative keyboard in iMessage. There are a few different options for sending your creation, including first saving it as an image to your phone, copying to the clipboard, sending as an image in the Messaging or WhatsApp, and sharing socially. But when the icons are as cute as the ones below, you'll do what you must in the name of Karl.
