He will be greatly missed by everyone in the fashion world. Pietro Beccari, Chairman and CEO of Christian Dior Couture, said: “Karl has been for me and my wife much more than just someone I worked with. He entered our life as a tornado and we became friends. Many words will be said about his talent and genius, but I would like to single out his profound culture. Indeed, you could speak with him for hours about any subject and he always had his well-informed point of view. He had an immense sensibility and he behaved like a gentleman with all the teams and at every level. Karl had an enormous generosity with the people he loved. We feel gifted to have met him on our path and deeply honored to be his friend. The huge sorrow will not, in any way, take away the incredible memories and moments we shared together. How to forget the first Haute Couture show of Fendi in Paris, the Trevi Fountain show and his eyes the first time he entered our new offices at Palazzo della Civiltà. He was a giant and I do not think there will be anybody like him anymore. He leaves a huge empty gap in the world of fashion and we will miss him a lot.” A post shared by Dior Official (@dior) on Feb 19, 2019 at 5:40am PST Share This Link Copy ← Use Arrow Keys → 21 Dior Previous Next Start Slideshow InstagramCelebrity DeathsFashion BrandsCelebrity InstagramsFashion InstagramsFashion NewsDesignerChanelKarl Lagerfeld
