LAGERFELD: LOSS OF A FASHION ICON
Iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld passed away on 19 February 2019 in Paris at the age of 85…
Although German by heritage, over the past half century Karl Lagerfeld has become closely associated with the couture fashion scene of Paris. Since 1983, he has been the driving force behind Chanel, transforming it from a stodgy dress house into the mega lifestyle brand it is today. In addition, he was also the creative director for the Italian leather goods maker, Fendi, a positions he held for over 50 years.
Lagerfeld’s own label has also seen significant growth over the past several years. The line today is more commercially priced than previous inceptions, with most pieces retailing between €100-€300.
