#132 7th photo by Deborah Turbeville with Chloe look by Karl is my fav(I even search for the original Vogue copy 1975 Jan issue), I am so happy I got the limited edition cover with Claudia and share it with some friends!

Are there any tribute pages in Vogue Germany? or other Vogues?

Nothing yet from German Vogue, but I get the feeling their putting something special together. Him being just about the most famous designer of German origin, next to Jim Sander.

I'm sure Babeth will also do a tribute. She ran a limited digital cover of him for the March or April issue, but that's it. A lot of magazines may still be working on their tributes, and for me that's fine. Rather take the time, see what everyone else did, and do something unique than just rushing to get it over with.

There may be tributes in other magazines too. I've only posted what I have access to.

This made me laugh.

This made me laugh.

I blame Apple!

This made me laugh.

Jim Sander sounds more like an NFL coach than a revered womenswear designer

Karl Lagerfeld Memorial Planned For June In Paris

Chanel and Fendi have come together to stage a memorial for Karl Lagerfeld in collaboration with the late designer’s eponymous brand. “Karl For Ever” will be staged at the Grand Palais – the iconic Paris venue that was transformed into the fantastical settings of his Chanel shows since 2005 – on the evening of June 20 during Paris Men’s Fashion Week.

Orchestrated by theatre and opera director Robert Carsen, the commemoration will comprise video footage of Lagerfeld and his collaborators on three screens, in addition to interpretative dance, music and theatre performances based on work admired by the former creative director.

“I wanted something full of life and unexpected,” Carsen told WWD of the invitation-only event, which should see some 2,500 guests in attendance. “He once famously said, ‘A funeral? I’d rather die.’”

“It will be a very powerful moment, a collective celebration of his persona,” said Bruno Pavlovsky, Chanel’s president of fashion. “The memorial will be about Karl only: who he was, what he loved, what gave him his exceptional energy. I am glad we could join forces with Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld to create together an exceptional event that measures up to him, a tribute that truly celebrates the things he loved and that inspired him.”

Since Lagerfeld died on February 19, the insurmountable loss of one of the industry’s leading creatives has been recognised in a number of ways. Chanel and Fendi, the two fashion behemoths that Lagerfeld steered towards success during his lifetime, both played David Bowie’s “Heroes” during the finale of his last autumn/winter 2019 collections. Chanel organised a minute’s silence at the start of the alpine-themed presentation, while Fendi screened a video entitled “54 years together” depicting Lagerfeld drawing a sketch of himself on his first day at the company.

The former additionally placed an illustration on each of the audience’s seats reminding them, “The beat goes on”, while the latter left small cards for guests, inscribed with Lagerfeld’s signature and the date of his passing. Both were apt acknowledgments of a designer who was famously anti-sentimental and pre-occupied with the future, rather than ever slipping into nostalgia. “Things start with me, they end with me,” Lagerfeld once told Suzy Menkes. “After that, the garbage can. I hate the idea of being heavily remembered.”

There was no public funeral after Lagerfeld died as per his own request, but a private service in Nanterre. “The greatest tribute we can pay today is to continue to follow the path he traced by – to quote Karl – ‘continuing to embrace the present and invent the future’,” Pavlovsky said about the wishes of his collaborator. Serge Brunschwig, Fendi chairman and CEO, reiterated this sense of moving forward, and declared that Lagerfeld had left the Fendi family, which he was an honorary member of, “an enormous heritage, an inexhaustible source of inspiration to continue”.

A tribute during Men's week is beyond cheap.

A tribute during Men's week is beyond cheap.

Just clever and practical...
Most of the designers will be there. The same for the editors at least for those who will be invited.
They’ll just maybe have to flew few people.
The week after, there’s Virginie debut collection and Fendi’s retrospective Couture show.

^
And since it’s being curated by both Fendi and Chanel I’m sure this was the middle ground of dates they could choose from! I wish Chloe had some sort of participation in this too!

^^
I wonder if clothes will be included in the memorial, like a mini retrospective fashion show...
There are rumors that the next MET exhibition might be about his career.

I also wonder if there might be a sort of livestream.
2500 people and Grand Palais looks like a huge production.

There are rumors that the next MET exhibition might be about his career.

To be fair, he left a really extensive archive for three major brands that are still power players today so an exhibition would make total sense. I'm just wondering whether it would happen this soon.
