Karl Lagerfeld Fashion Icon RIP

Karl Lagerfeld – Thank You For a Lifetime of Fashion & Style – RIP

I just received news that Fashion Icon Karl Lagerfeld passed away today at the age of 85 in Paris, France. As a designer, photographer, editor, and producer, German-born Karl Lagerfeld was larger than life, creating a universe in which everything is perfectly under control, where each detail is of utmost importance. He’s known as the Andy Warhol of fashion, bringing color to his famous black-and-white style.

Known as one of the world’s most celebrated fashion designers, Karl Lagerfeld was the creative director for Chanel, Fendi and his own Karl Lagerfeld’s namesake fashion house. His signature ponytail and dark glasses made him an instantly recognizable fashion figure worldwide which appeared as a silhouette on many of his designs, along with his favorite feline pet Choupette.

Karl Lagerfeld & Godson Hudson Kroenig

Some of my favorite images of Karl Lagerfeld are with his godson Hudson Kroenig, son of the model Brad Kroenig. In these images, you can see how much admiration Lagerfeld had towards his godson and the importance of kids’ fashion. Karl Lagerfeld was often photographed with his godson Hudson Kroenig on the runway during Paris Fashion Week, the first time was for Chanel’s Spring 2011 Collection.

Back in Spring 2016, I blogged that Karl Lagerfeld would premiere his new ready-to-wear and accessories collection for children and babies. The childrenswear collection pays special homage to the designer with symbols of a mini rock-inspired Lagerfeld silhouette, chic attitude, and love of black & white. An Icon of his super fashionable feline, Choupette, can be found throughout the collection.
