So sad to hear about Karl Lagerfeld’s passing. What a life he had. He was a true master of his craft, an inspiring creator. He also had a ferocious sense of humour and whimsy. #karllagerfeld

The largest bouquet of flowers I ever received was from him. It was so wide it wouldn’t fit through the hotel room door. Literally thousands of multicolored sweet peas in a dome. It smelt incredible. France has lost one of its pillar’s of fashion. #karllagerfeld @KarlLagerfeld
