Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld dies



Karl Lagerfeld, the prolific fashion designer who turned around the fortunes of Chanel and Fendi, has died in Paris. 
Lagerfeld worked up until his death as artistic director of fashion houses Chanel and Fendi, as well as producing his own label collections each season.
He was as renowned for his personal style and his cutting comments about those he considered fat or unfashionable, as for the clothes he created, always completing his look with black sunglasses and a pair of white gloves.
He died today, 19 February, in Paris at the age of 85.
"Incredible talent and endless inspiration"
Fellow fashion designers have paid tribute to the designer, with Victoria Beckham declaring herself "incredibly sad" at the news. Donatella Versace took to Instagram to state: "Karl 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."

Lagerfeld had worked with Fendi since 1965 designing furs and accessories, and as the artistic director of the label's ready-to-wear clothing since 1977. He took on the role of head designer at Chanel in addition in 1983.
Renowned for his insatiable work ethic over a seven-decade career in fashion, Lagerfeld began as couturier Pierre Balmain's assistant in 1955, before taking over the reins at Chloe a decade later.
