In Memory of Karl Lagerfeld. “We met Karl on several occasions and he was always extremely nice to us. When we were teenagers we were very inspired by the fact that KL moved to Paris to pursue his dream when he was still very young. It taught us to dream big and aim for the highest.” <3 VR

”It saddens me to hear that Karl has passed away, he will be greatly missed. He remains an icon and his contribution to fashion cannot be underestimated. I fondly remember the first meetings we had when discussing the collaboration H&M did with him in 2004: the discussions about which items should be in the collection, the fitting sessions and when he invited the H&M-team to a private lunch in his town house on Rive Gauche.” Margareta van den Bosch Creative Advisor

The House of KARL LAGERFELD shares, with deep emotion and sadness, the passing of its creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, on February 19, 2019, in Paris, France. He was one of the most influential and celebrated designers of the 21st century and an iconic, universal symbol of style. Driven by a phenomenal sense of creativity, Karl was passionate, powerful and intensely curious. He leaves behind an extraordinary legacy as one of the greatest designers of our time, and there are no words to express how much he will be missed.

This is a truly sad day. To say I knew this gentle man that changed how we all looked at the world, is an honour. My heart goes out to his loved ones and to all that felt his delicate and spectacular touch on an industry that is so crowded with characters. He held his place high above all and his sharp wit and mind blew us all away. A true icon... One that will be missed for many, many years to come and will always be responsible for so much creative genius. Thank you Karl for all the beauty and for seeing the world through those iconic glasses that were truly rose-tinted with a vision that was like no other. You will be very missed... And always loved x

Karl was my magic dust, he transformed me from a shy German girl into a supermodel. He taught me about fashion, style and survival in the fashion business. What Warhol was to art, he was to fashion; he is irreplaceable. He is the only person who could make black and white colourful! I will be eternally grateful to him.

All of us at the House of Dior are deeply saddened by news of Karl Lagerfeld's passing. He will be greatly missed by everyone in the fashion world. @MrKimJones, Artistic Director for men's collections, said: "I am deeply moved to hear of Karl Lagerfeld's death. He came to my first show for Dior. His creative vision and unique talent will always be an extraordinary inspiration for generations to come. As will his way of working with his teams, building them up with profound intelligence and a sense of humor that was his alone. The fashion world will miss him greatly, and of course my thoughts are with his colleagues who doubtless are heartbroken today."⁣
