Chanel's iconic couturier, Karl Lagerfeld, whose accomplished designs as well as trademark white ponytail, high starched collars and dark enigmatic glasses dominated high fashion for the past 50 years, has died. He was around 85 years old.
As
one of the most prolific and admired designers of modern times, Lagerfeld’s
influence on the fashion industry is unparalleled. Known fondly in fashion
circles as “the Kaiser” thanks to his German heritage, he was famously
uncompromising in his design vision.
