Lagerfeld’s last Chanel show: Paris Fashion Week 2019

Karl Lagerfeld’s last collection for Chanel opened with a minute’s silence for the late designer on Tuesday (March 5), as friends, collaborators and fans turned out in Paris to remember his 35 years as the creative force behind the French couture house. Conceived before his death at 85 in late February, the catwalk was transformed into a typically over-the-top winter wonderland setting, complete with wooden chalets and smoking chimneys, sealing Lagerfeld’s reputation at the pinnacle of fashion showmanship.
