Karl, who was instantly recognizable for his perfected look: white pony-tailed hair, black leather gloves, Chrome Hearts rings, and sunglasses, was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1933 to Otto Lagerfeld and Elisabeth Bahlmann. Karl and his family would emigrate to France where an assisting job for Pierre Balmain would ultimately beget the Karl Lagerfeld known around the world today, a household name even for those who know little of fashion\u2019s affairs. <\/p>\n<p>He became most known for his work as artistic director of <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/chanel\">Chanel<\/a>, which he held tenure at since 1983, following Gabrielle Bonheur &#8220;Coco&#8221; Chanel\u2019s death in 1971 and the house\u2019s launch of ready-to-wear in 1978. Lagerfeld took to task invigorating the stuffy brand and all its boucl\u00e9 jackets, which he did\u2014and well, perhaps with more prolificacy than any other designer; in 2018 the privately owned company was reportedly worth upwards of 10 billion. A tireless workaholic, he also was the creative director for <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/client\/fendi\">Fendi<\/a> since 1965 and ran lines under his own name, producing numerous collections each year. <\/p>\n<p>His life was dense with revisions in his own tastes with often-quotable anecdotes surfacing either from his own bon mot-laden interviews where more of his unique Weltanschauung would unfold: take his best-selling book \u201cThe Karl Lagerfeld Diet\u201d for example, a diet he used to fit into Hedi Slimane\u2019s Dior Homme skinny pants; or his love for <a href=\"\/\/models.com\/people\/choupette-lagerfeld\">Choupette<\/a>, his fabled white Birman cat. Though the news is devastating, Karl\u2019s legendary energy was rumored to be in decline after an absence from his haute couture show in January. Anna Wintour remembered the late designer in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vogue.com\/article\/anna-wintour-remembers-karl-lagerfeld\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a statement<\/a> on Vogue, \u201cToday the world lost a giant among men. Karl was so much more than our greatest and most prolific designer\u2014his creative genius was breathtaking and to be his friend was an exceptional gift. Karl was brilliant, he was wicked, he was funny, he was generous beyond measure, and he was deeply kind. I will miss him so very much.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>In honor of Karl Lagerfeld\u2019s insatiable quest for inspiration, purpose and looking towards tomorrow, we are doing the same while remembering the great man and some of his favorite muses.<\/p>\n<p><center\/><a href=\"https:\/\/models.com\/models\/arizona-muse\/client\/all\/chanel\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arizona Muse<\/a><br \/>\n<a
