Fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld has died – reports

Iconic Chanel fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has died aged 85, according to reports in French media. He had reportedly been ill for weeks.

German-born Lagerfeld, one of the most renowned and prolific modern fashion designers, was creative director at the French luxury brand Chanel at the time of his death. He had also worked with a number of other companies over the years, including the Italian Fendi and his own eponymous label.

There has been no official statement Lagerfeld’s death so far, though a source close to Chanel, cited by Reuters, has confirmed his death. He had skipped Chanel fashion shows in late January, though back then the company simply said he was tired.
