You will be missed, Karl

Swallow. The day you knew was coming. A day when not only Karl, but also fashion died. One of the most famous couturiers on earth is no more. His health had not been great for a while now of the designer. He was already the big absentee at the Chanel fashion shows in the Parisian Grand Palais in January because he claimed to be ‘too tired’. Something that was remarkable, considering the fact that he had never, ever missed a show of the French fashion house since his appointment in 1983. Karl passed away at the age of 85 years. An age I would sign for immediately. Make them crazy up there, Karl. And make sure they look a bit hip. You can do that like no one else.
