6 GIFs explaining who is Karl Lagerfeld

Dark sunglasses, long silver hair gathered in a low tail, black leather gloves, passion for cats and one of the greatest fashion geniuses of our days. It is impossible do not to know who's Karl Lagerfeld, creative director of Chanel and Fendi, the man of a thousand punches, but also a cartoonist, photographer, critic and visionary. Behind him there are 20 years from Maison Chloé, an International Wool Secretariat in his pocket and a capsule Karl x Kaia released on August 30th in which the well-known creative confronts himself with the new generation of Kaia Gerber, daughter of the ex-model Cindy Crawford. Tight little dresses like him and sweatshirts over like Kaia street style.

Mr Chanel today extinguishes the candles, 85 years of revolution, of cynicism but above all of great work, his greatest passion (after his Burmese cat Choupette, of course). So we'll tell you who Karl Lagerfeld is with some of our favorite GIFs.

"That's exactly what I am. As a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything - not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion".
