Le monde rend hommage à Karl Lagerfeld

Quelques heures seulement après l’annonce du décès du grand couturier Karl Lagerfeld, une vague d’hommages déferle sur les réseaux sociaux.

Si plusieurs reconnaissent au premier regard son look iconique, rappelons qu’il est connu principalement pour son travail des 36 dernières années à titre de directeur artistique de la maison de haute couture Chanel.

Au cours des dernières semaines, des ennuis de santé l’avaient empêché de se présenter pour remercier le public après la présentation de la collection Printemps – Été 2019.

Le créateur s’est éteint au cours de la nuit dernière à l’âge de 85 ans.

Cher Karl, que dire pour exprimer à quel point vous allez nous manquer. The world will never know another force like you. My heart is so heavy today, but so full of gratitude for all that you have taught and done for me. Your kindness, humour, and loyalty will live on in the hearts of those who knew you and your genius will live on forever. I feel so lucky to have been able to work with you so closely, but even luckier to have known your heart and incredible spirit. I will hold every moment spent with you so dear. Words can’t express how much your belief in me has impacted every aspect of my life; it is a gift I could never thank you enough for. You truly made my dreams come true. Thinking of my Chanel family today and all those who knew and loved Karl ?? Karl, on vous aime. Merci, merci, merci. Vous êtes éternel.

We lost a true legend!!!! You were such an inspiration to the world! You shot my first fashion shoot and I was so nervous to work with such an icon! The world is so much chicer because you existed! I am beyond honored to have met you and had the opportunity to work with you. You are so loved and will be so missed

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.

You brought so much beauty, style and grace to this world. Karl, you will forever be a true legend, an icon, an inspiration. It was such a thrill and a pleasure to have met you, to have worked with you, and to have experienced the amazing times when you would photograph my girls for your beautiful campaigns. There will never be another like you, my dear friend, and you will be truly missed. #KarlLagerfeld @karllagerfeld
