The Little Black Dress team are heartbroken to hear that iconic fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has died aged 85 in Paris, February 19th. Karl Lagerfeld will be dearly missed. He was undoubtedly one of the most influential and important creatives of our time.
The fashion world pays tribute to Karl Lagerfeld
Karl Lagerfeld was a fashion legend who saved Chanel in the 1980's. Consequently, he spent a further thirty years as its artistic director. Lagerfeld was notorious for his acid tongue. Furthermore, he was well known for his love for the iconic little black dress. The designer once stated that "One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress" and we couldn't agree more!
Celebrities and designers were quick to pay tribute to Lagerfeld. Spice Girl-turned-designer Victoria Beckham lead a host of tributes to the late fashion designer. She wrote: 'So incredibly sad to hear this. Karl was a genius and always so kind and generous to me both personally and professionally. RIP'.
Fellow designer Marc Jacobs also paid his respects, sharing a heartfelt piece on social media: 'Waking up to a world without Karl. So sad. And strange. He was a great inspiration to me, and, undeniably a unique and extraordinary talent. RESPECT. Rest In Peace KL.'
Italian fashion designer, Dontella Versace, also posted about Lagerfeld, writing: 'your genius touched the lives of so many, especially Gianni and I. We will never forget your incredible talent and endless inspiration. We were always learning from you.'
