Creator for Princesses

He wore black and white clothes himself.

But the clothes that he created could be very colourful. Models walked in beautiful creations along the catwalk. One time these were vividly red, another time fuchsia, a third time pale pink, the fourth blue.

Karl Lagerfeld was one of the most famous fashion designers of the past century.

He died in Paris, 85 years old.

Many fashion insiders said farewell to him with posts on social networks.

The singer Lily Allen wrote on Instagram: “Because of you I felt like a princess.”

She was probably not the only one.

Lagerfeld did not only design clothes for women who can spend a lot of money on them.

He was the first of many famous fashion designers to design a clothing collection for H&M.

Since 1983 he was also the creative director of the luxury fashion house Chanel.

All this time he also created clothing under his own brand: clothes, t-shirts, trousers and even onesies for babies, children and youngsters.

Young, but still chic, timeless, but modern, there are presented on the website Karl.com.

Of course, these clothes are more expensive than those that were available in 2004 in H&M stores.

Who knows, maybe some girls feel like a princess because of them.
