Karl Lagerfeld is arguably the worlds most influential modern designer, reviving not one but four fashion houses to relevance, even when it seemed to most that that was impossible (especially for Fendi and Chanel). This video that looks through the life of Karl Lagerfeld is meant to be a reminder of everything he did throughout his glittering career. Especially with the recent negative press his name is getting coming into the met gala, I think its at least important to understand his influence in the fashion world
