For those who don’t know the name Karl Lagerfeld, we’ll remind you. One of the most acclaimed of the designers of the second half of the 20th century born in the German city of Hamburg gained fame in collaboration with the most luxury fashion houses like Chanel, Fendi or Chloé, but also with his own brand, which he established at the beginning of the 80’s. The top designer didn’t shy away from working with celebrities either.
In the last months he collaborated with the daughter of Cindy Crawford Kaia Gerber, with whom he created the young people’s stylish collection Karl Lagerfeld X Kaia. He also created a number of outfits for the singer Madonna or Kylie Minogue.
A hint to the fact that something might be wrong, could have already been suggested by the fact, that Karl Lagerfeld didn’t show up at the latest fashion show Chanel Haute Couture SS 2019, which took place at the French Grand Palais. The designer was represented by Virginia Viard, who takes charge of event coordination at the ateliers.
The latest fashion shows, where Karl Lagerfeld did appear, were Chanel SS19 and Fendi SS19, which took place in the final months of the year 2018.
Many fans of luxury and quality fashion have at least some of the iconic items of Karl Lagerfeld. Not only chic clothes, but also accessories in the form of handbags, wallets or cell phone covers with his characteristic signature or the likeness of the cat pet Choupette will always remain legendary.
In a few days he was also supposed to present new the respective collections of Chanel and Fendi at world FW 19/20. We don’t doubt, that they will be spectacular once again. Their beauty and the designer’s unquestionable talent will have to be appreciated in his absence.
Karl Lagerfeld died 19.2 at the Paris American hospital, where he was hospitalized on Monday 18.2. The cause of his death is yet unconfirmed. Not only the fashion world has lost a great personality.
