Superstar fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has died aged 85 in Paris following a short illness.
The German designer, who was the creative director for Chanel and Fendi, was one of the industry's most prolific figures and worked up until his death.
His signature ponytail and dark glasses made him an instantly recognisable figure around the world.
Industry heavyweights, including Italian designer Donatella Versace, issued heartfelt tributes.
"Today the world lost a giant among men," said the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, Anna Wintour.
Rumours of Lagerfeld's ill health had swirled for several weeks after he missed a number of events - including Chanel's spring/summer show last month.

Sounds allright to me:
“In particular, he sparked outrage when he attacked Germany’s open-door response to the migrant crisis, as reported by The Guardian, and for controversial remarks he made about the #MeToo movement, as reported by Papermag.

RIP — quite a name when fashionistas were bigger than life.
Another faggot bites the dust. At least he appears to be one that kept it t at home and didn’t flaunt it all over.
He has looked dead for years. I think it was Karl who said the line...”its better to look dead than to be dead.”
He probably left a fortune to his beautiful cat.
“I design like I breathe. You don’t ask to breathe. It just happens.”
Don’t know anything about his line of work, but the quote is perfect for greenfield/brownfield or retrofit design.
And probably all creative works.
Colorful fella. RIP.
Pauvre Choupette!
it took a German to run the number one french design house... that's some funny sh1t right there that is
