Claudia Schiffer honors Karl Lagerfeld on his birthday

Model Claudia Schiffer has paid tribute to the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld on what would have been his 93rd birthday. In a post on Instagram, Schiffer shared a photograph of the two of them wearing dark sunglasses, describing the designer as her ‘magic dust’ and noting that he transformed a ‘shy German girl’ into a supermodel.

Other tributes were shared by the official Karl Lagerfeld brand account, which honored his creative instinct, curiosity, and experimental approach to the design process, from pattern making to silhouette. Additionally, a post from the Instagram account of Lagerfeld’s cat, Choupette, shared a personal anecdote about the designer from the pet's perspective.

Lagerfeld, who passed away in 2019, was a highly influential figure in the fashion industry, known for his long-standing work with major labels including Chanel and Fendi.
