As a fashion designer, he transformed Chanel into the iconic fashion house it is now. “When I took over, nobody talked about [Coco Chanel],” he said to The Cut this past December. “I reinvented the references, but that’s a good thing, no? Everybody said to me, ‘Don’t touch it. It’s dead,’ because 35 years ago, old labels were old labels. Now everybody wants to revive a label, and some of them, I don’t think it’s a good idea. But this was before Tom Ford and Gucci.”

Many friends and industry insider have taken to social media to remember the late, great designer.

On a personal note, owning a Chanel piece had been a dream for me for a long time. Each Chanel piece that I have in my collection is because of Karl and what he did with the brand. He brought so much beauty into the world with his incredible talent and mind. Thank you for sharing your talents with us, Karl. It’s with a heavy heart that I write this post.
