    Not PETA's favourite designer if I recall, but rip to probably the most recognisable male in fashion.

    I don't think there was more iconic designer around after YSL died. It will be interesting to see who will replace him and how Chanel profits will hold.

    An amazing designer but a rather terrible human being!

    He hired strippers and adult film stars as models. Caused fashion gurus to walk out of his show.

    He also used a verse of the Qur'an in a 1994 outfit. How he wasnt killed for that I'll never know, maybe it was just too stylish.

    Called Adele a bit fat. So...fat shaming?

    Was he one of those gay lads who thought he could say terrible and outrageous things to anyone because he was a camp gay man?

    That doesn’t wash anymore. He was rich and white. That completely overrules any slack he might once have got for being gay.

    He sounds like an English football hooligan character Harry Enfield would invent.

    You don’t strike me as a fashionable sort, Seamus. Bootcut jeans and a Next jumper sort of lad.

    Fair play. That's exactly what I'm wearing right now :D

    And no, fashion is not something I care about in the slightest.

    Adele is a bit fat. So basically nothing major.

    I loved that show he had on BBC a while back, talking to politics heads about their clothes. Got to see a human side of them.

    The fashion world morns.

    He's as recognizable a name to people uninterested in fashion as any number of soccer players names would be to me, doesn't mean his passing isn't noteworthy. He was a hugely successful and influential figure in his area. It's a creative art form.

    Anyway, I know nothing about him as a private person but I have enjoyed his work (via couture magazines, my guilty pleasure). I'm not a stylish person and the opposite of a fashionista but I liked what he created in the same way that I'm not in the least bit artistic but I can enjoy looking at the works of Modigliani or Banksy for that matter.

    He'll be remembered as one of the greats of his industry.

    Are there people confusing John Galliano with Lagerfeld on this thread or did both men have the same anti-semetic outburst?

    I think he was opinionated enough that if someone wanted to be offended by him they would could find a suitable quote from him. :D

    He was quoted as saying "She is a little too fat but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice" - not bad really.

    He himself lost over 90 lbs so probably thinks a lot of people need to lost some weight (which is true).

    Come to think of it Mr Lager sort of dressed like a distinguished German Army Officer, circa 1940.

    Very stylish individual.
