All of us at the House of Dior are deeply saddened by news of Karl Lagerfeld's passing. He will be greatly missed by everyone in the fashion world. #MariaGraziaChiuri, Creative Director for women's collections, said: "I was extremely saddened to hear of Karl Lagerfeld's passing. He was such an emblematic personality, an icon with whom I had the immense good fortune of working early in my career, at Fendi. I appreciated his culture, directness and humor and admired his creations for the free and modern vision of fashion he offered women. We will miss him terribly and my thoughts especially go out to his teams at Fendi and Chanel."
