This is Gustavo, writing this podcasts summary. I felt the need to write this as an homage to the truly last Emporer of French Fashion. As you all know, Karl Lagerfeld passed away about a week or so ago, and with that comes the end of a tremendous legacy, an innovative designer, and lastly perhaps the last FASHION designer ever left. Obviously, not discrediting any of the currently established designers but Karl Lagerfeld was on his league of his own. Over 50 years as a designer and an extensive...
