“Forget about the past. If you feel nostalgic, then your time is over. We have to adapt to the present, since it is not adjusted to the us” — Karl Lagerfeld. But we will remember you, Carl. Thanks for the femininity that you have erected a cult.

In correct editions, as you know, the obits are ready. Sometimes they wait for years. Sometimes the authors of the obituaries die before their heroes. Although to accept the standards of journalism very difficult. Once I personally met with Carl. It was in 2009, when Chanel did the famous show in a Small theatre. Of course, I was terribly worried, but not because he seemed too great. I was scared that he would be inanimate, inaccessible, do not understand what I’m asking is squeamish to press my hand with his hand in a white glove, would not want to answer, hide behind their black glasses and try to solve it, he hears you at all or not. As I remember, after the show, Karl remained seated on the stage, and it turns down journalists. We talked for about ten minutes. He firmly shook my hand. Was completely alive in the subject. Laughed and said. Gave thorough, full of respect for the interlocutor answers. We even talked a little bit German. So sometimes the myth of a man walking ahead of him. Later I loved to read an interview with Carl. He gave them as a man with nothing to lose. Not trying to be politically correct, didn’t call their press office to clarify, one can be hurt. He was always himself. Very alive and a normal person.

Carla Bruni

Dear Karl, thank you for all this light! Thank you for bringing beauty into the world and light the darkness painted with bright colors and added into our boring everyday fun. I think you would be against sobs and funeral wreaths, but know this: you will be missed! We will all miss you.

Sati Spivakova

All who knew “the Kaiser” close, knew that he was leaving. Although, when we had dinner with him one last time, in August of 2018, it seemed like the Phoenix! Carl joked, sprinkled with quotations, admired, remembered — that long monologue was his trademark blend of: paradox, erudition, condescension, sarcasm, humor and tenderness! Especially this tenderness spilled on you when he suddenly removed the glasses, revealing look surprised boys… Now all overtaking each other, begin to write about him and remember him. I’m no exception. I’m just lucky little more than many to know him well and see often.But it was meeting outside the framework of the “selfie with a star”, a rummage in the archives of the not now… the Main, in the archive memory, it will remain all unique, the details… good-Bye, my dear Carl! Thank you for all that You so generously gave me!

Alexa Chung

Rest in peace, Carl. I remember how worried I was before the interview with you, and you were incredibly kind and witty. Thank you for invited me to some of the most glamorous events in my life. It was an honor to know you. And of course, thank you for the life hacks to use dry shampoo — now I will always remember you, pripudrivania your wig.

Today ended an era in the world of fashion. Died Karl Otto Lagerfeld. He was a key figure in the world of fashion. It equaled, copied it many tried to be like him, but no one was to approach the master. Carl and I met in his youth on the purchase of his own brand, Karl Lagerfield, later we crossed paths on purchases of Fendi and Chanel. We often met in the showroom for lunch. What a pity that I have so little, together with photos, at that time nobody was doing them more often. I have never felt the age difference between us, Carl was always young. He had a favorite phrase: “watch and Learn”, and I owe him a lot very grateful. It I really learned a lot. I was always amazed at how Carl had just sitting somewhere just 10 minutes to draw 10 images Fendi. I have still preserved these sketches. And Carl was very fond of books, from which he drew inspiration. I was in his apartment in Paris 12 years ago and I have never seen so many books. There were thousands of them. After that, I can’t pass up a bookstore without buying a couple of books about art. Together with Carl the whole epoch is gone. The bright memory.

Carl was my magic fairy, he turned me from sasaciloa German girls in supermodel. He taught me how to understand fashion, learn the style and rules of survival in this industry. It was for the fashion world what Andy Warhol was to art. Such as it is, is no more. He was the only person who could make black and white playing colours. I will be forever grateful to him.

I will never forget that day 8 years ago when I first met the legendary Karl Lagerfeld as a model in the lens — for an advertising campaign of the Maison Michelle. It was extremely brilliant, as all I do Maestro. How many people has he helped to start your journey in the world of fashion as the inspiration he gave us… the fashion World will never be the same…
