"You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur" - Karl Lagerfeld
There's a lot that the world has to be thankful for the blessing that was Karl Lagerfeld. The fashion icon died on Tuesday after being ill for sometime now. From the reinvention of the Chanel suit to taking hi-low to a whole new level (Chanel Fall 2014 Couture), Lagerfeld is an irreplaceable presence in the world of fashion. Lagerfeld, who started off as an assistant in Pierre Balmain's design house worked his way to becoming one of the most influential people in couture, working with brands like Fendi, Chanel, and Chloe. His genius trickled down to the core of the fashion industry. His sense of style and fashion relevant even in these changing times. In memory of the creative genius let's take a look at the 10 most iconic looks that came out of Karl's reign over the runway.
1. Helen Christensen for Chanel Ready to Wear Fall-Winter 1991 collection
Helena Christensen, a long time muse for Lagerfeld walked the 1991 runway show in this iconic denim and wool ensemble. The modernity of the look lies in the use of accessories for sure - it was the first time that Chanel had gone all out with the classic gold chains and the rock n roll vibe and you really started to see the Karl influence.
