“What a horror, i don’t want to be buried. I prefer to die!”

Karl Lagerfeld one of the most important designer of his and our generation has passed away.

He designed an infinite amount of clothes, bags, shoes and accessories throughout his career

which lasted over six decades. He was, and certainly will always be, a well-known name and a

fashion icon, immediately recognizable with his dark glasses, grey pony tail and his passion for

fingerless gloves.

Before he was born, a visionary had predicted to his mother that her son would be an important churchman. It did not go that way, but for him fashion was almost a religion.

Here are his five most important lessons to keep in mind:

1. Don’t regret old times..

2. Worry about looking and not just being looked at.

3. Never get bored: “Boredom is a crime!”

4. The biggest luxury is that of not justifing yourself with anyone.

5. Don’t fall in love with the concept of permanent, because nothing is definitive.

FAREWELL MR LAGERFELD
