By Lucy Cooper 5 years ago

The creative icon behind the fashion house Chanel has sadly passed away this morning.


Lagerfeld became one of the most recognisable faces in fashion for countless efforts, but most notably his role as the creative director of fashion house Chanel.

Admired and respected


He was also creative director for Italian brand Fendi, as well as owning his own 'Karl Lagerfeld' line of glasses. A man of all talents, Lagerfeld was also a well- respected fashion photographer; he was undoubtedly a true asset to the fashion community.
