Farewell, Mr. Lagerfeld…

20/02/2019

The fashion world is in mourning this week as, with deep emotion and sadness, the House of Karl Lagerfeld announced the passing of its creative director Karl Lagerfeld on the morning of February 19, 2019 in Paris.



“The world has lost an icon,” stated Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of Karl Lagerfeld, “Karl Lagerfeld was a creative genius; he was influential, curious, powerful and passionate. He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy as one of the greatest designers of our time. I feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to have known and worked with him, and there are no words to express how much he will be missed.” Driven by a phenomenal sense of creativity, the German designer was not only Creative Director of his eponymous brand, but also for the Houses of Chanel – since 1983- and Fendi. He also displayed his incredible artistic talent through photography, publishing, illustration, architecture, and interior design, all areas in which he cultivated lifelong passions.
