Past Remix cover stars pay tribute to late fashion icon, Karl Lagerfeld

One of the most brilliant, revolutionary, and controversial designers of all time has passed, leaving a hole in the bleeding heart of the global fashion industry. Karl Lagerfeld’s vision and unstoppable momentum has raised Chanel from it’s near destitute knees, and propelled it back into the international design success it is today. Fifteen collections a year, for three seperate houses - Chanel, Fendi and his namesake label - couldn’t keep this divine creative force from producing some of the most extraordinary and iconic design work of the twenty-first century.

A resource in himself, Lagerfeld is said to have a personal library of almost 100,000 volumes, mostly consisting of photography and art books, and his own tireless education has rendered him one of the most exceptionally intuitive designers of his time. His legacy will live on through the endless list of fashion houses for which he graced his talents (Balmain, Jean Patou, Chloé to name a few) but Karl Lagerfeld is concreted in the history books with his multi-billion dollar luxury empire that is the interlocking C’s. Known for his obsession with ‘La Muse’, his repertoire of celebrity friends and admirers is near endless. Find below a few of the high profile tributes to a genius whose soul can never be removed from fashion.
