15+ Talented People Who Made Amazing Pieces on Their Own

One of the most well-known fashion designers ever, Karl Lagerfeld never got a specific education in this field. The future visionary left home when he was only 14 and entered a coat design competition in Paris. After winning, he was hired as an assistant and began his amazing career from there. This goes to show that talent can shine bright in any situation.
