Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld dies in Paris aged 85

Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld died yesterday aged 85. From the 1950s on, Lagerfeld developed his own style and worked for several firms, including Pierre Balmain, Jean Patou and Chloé, before collaborating with the Italian brand Fendi as an art director, from 1965. It was almost twenty years later, in 1983, that he joined the French company Chanel. Famous for hiding his face behind dark glasses, rumours about his failing health had been rife since he recently stopped attending public acts.
