It's been one year since Karl Lagerfeld passed away. Here, his friends and colleagues share their memories of Lagerfeld, in celebration of his life.
When we spoke extensively in Paris, the year before he died, I did not know these would be our last meetings. “I have the fashion industry, I have photography books and publishing—that’s enough! I like to watch the world, but I don’t want to be watched,” he explained to me.
He talked occasionally about his parents, saying: “My father was a very nice person, very sweet, but he wasn’t as funny as my mother. So, sometimes I felt guilty that I was not as nice to him, as I was a slave to her.” “I talk to Karl every day, just like I used to,” Harlech told me. “Mostly, he would laugh at my slowness to get down to ‘it’—writing, painting, sorting out the piles of books, restoring the Jacobean garden at my home.”
“Karl’s memory will live forever in our hearts and minds,” the executive said. “He left us an amazing energy. We can feel it today in the studio, in the workshops on rue Cambon: the wish to do the right thing. Creative director of the brand, Silvia Venturini Fendi, who worked so closely with Karl during his visits to Rome, described Fendi’s bond with Lagerfeld: “We can say that with Fendi, there was a special bond [between Karl Lagerfeld and] my family, but also a great attachment to the maison itself. It has been the longest relationship in the history of fashion. A love story of 55 years.
