Karl Lagerfeld, creative genius and giant of the fashion world, died yesterday in Paris at the age of 85.
The death of Chanel’s Artistic Director has rocked Hollywood, with many of the famous names he immortalised in his shoots, runway shows and couture creations sharing their grief online.
Among the tributes, one perhaps stands out above the rest. Diane Kruger, a long-time of muse of Lagerfeld and a fellow German, revealed on Instagram she had travelled to Paris this week to introduce Lagerfeld to her three-month old daughter.
“Karl…..I cannot tell you how much you meant to me and how much I will miss you,” the actress, who welcomed her first child in November, wrote.
“I will never forget your kindness towards me, your laughs, your imagination.
“I came to France to see you this week and introduce you to my daughter…I’m heartbroken I was too late. Rest In Peace, I adore you.”
Others who paid tribute to Lagerfeld include Anna Wintour, Kristen Stewart, Lady Gaga, Kim Kardashian, Alexa Chung, Victoria Beckham, Naomi Campbell, and more.
Read their posts and just try not to weep. Farewell to a legend.
