Sept. 10, 1933 - Feb.19, 2019
FASHION ICONIC DESIGNER
KARL LAGARFELD
passed away.

"I don't like standard beauty-
there is no beauty without strangeness."

"I think it is a crime
to say you are bored
when time is so precious
and there are so many things to do
in life:
read, learn, watch."

"I like the idea of craziness with discipline."
