Haute couture designer and Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld has died at age 85 at the American Hospital of Paris.
Lagerfeld died on Tuesday morning at the clinic in the Neuilly-sur-Seine area of the French capital, where he was admitted the previous night.
The German directed two giants of the fashion industry: LVMH-owned luxury label Fendi since 1977 and Paris’s family-owned powerhouse Chanel since 1983, where the stylist left an ever-lasting mark.
His death came a month after he decided not to greet his audience at the end in a Chanel fashion show in Paris because he was “tired”.
