Here\u2019s to Karl Lagerfeld, The Eternal Keizer of the Fashion World\u00a0\u21d2<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0The renowned German fashion designer,\u00a0Karl\u00a0Lagerfeld<\/strong>\u00a0died at 85 years of age, according to sources close to\u00a0Chanel<\/strong><\/em>. \u2013 The first speculation about the state of his health, immersed with his absence during Chanel\u2019s haute couture show last month.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n \"\"<\/a>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Karl Otto Lagerfeld first started his fashion path as an assistant to Pierre Balmain back in 1955 and was famous for his very unique approach to his fashion and art projects. He was not only a creative director for big fashion houses, such as Chanel, but also an overall respected artist, who was also a photographer, and a caricaturist.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Over the decades we were able to see his genius mind materialise through the masterworks that he created for the fashion houses Chanel and Fendi, as well as his eponymous fashion label. His aspirational, relevant and cutting-edge attitude towards style gained him fame, but it was his enigmatic persona and an original perspective on fashion, that always made us come back for more.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

During his career, he acted as the art director for fashion designer Jean Patou, as well as one of the first freelancers\u2019 designers in contemporary fashion, having worked between France, Italy, England, and Germany.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was also the first fashion designer \u2013 without his own label \u2013 to introduce a perfume, \u2018CHLOE\u2019. This happened during his time working for the French house\u00a0Chloe \u2013 a collaboration that started in 1964 and ended in 1975. In 2017 he partnered with\u00a0Swarovski in a combined effort to bring to life a Karl Lagerfeld\u00a0jewellery\u00a0line. This project included three different sub-lines \u2013 Ikonic, Klassic Karl and Essentials \u2013 which together were the perfect representation of the brand\u2019s core identity.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As another proof that he was much more than just a fashion designer \u2013 but an artist \u2013 in the most complete sense of the word, Kar Lagerfeld, also exhibited his first sculptural works at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery in Paris last year. This project included marble objects called \u2018Architectures\u2019\u00a0which were developed in collaboration with architect Aline Asmar d\u2019Amman.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Here's<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a seven-decade career filled with several landmarks \u2013 including spending a record-breaking of 36 years at the Chanel House \u2013 it is time to say goodbye to one of the most acclaimed faces of the fashion industry. Lagerfeld\u00a0used to say that for him designing was like breathing. We believe him, and honour him for all the great, unforgettable achievements, that he granted to the fashion world.<\/p>\n
