10 magnificent muses of the windy Karl Lagerfeld

The great Karl Lagerfeld — fashion designer, designer, creative director of Chanel has died. This man-symbol was 85 years old. Throughout his long life, the legendary German was surrounded by beautiful women, many of whom became a source of inspiration for him. Let's honor his memory and remember those beauties who became his muses.

Diane Kruger

They met when Kruger was only 16 years old, and since then their friendship has grown into a relationship similar to that of a father and daughter. But, despite this, the actress was not his muse and the face of Chanel for a long time, but she is a regular guest of the shows and rarely changes the French house with other brands.

Vanessa Paradis

In the 1990s, a fragile Frenchwoman won the heart of a German, and he made her the face of Coco Chanel fragrance. Lagerfeld's affection passed as suddenly as it appeared. However, many years later, he made her face again, or rather the lips of the brand: Paradis represented Coco Rouge Chanel lipstick.

Blake Lively

Another outburst of love was awarded to the designer by the main gossip girl of Manhattan. Blakel Lively did not just become the face of the Chanel Mademoiselle accessories line - Lagerfeld dedicated one of the bags to the actress, wrote her letters by hand and called her "the American dream". This relationship was passionate, but fleeting.

Claudia Schiffer

It was this tandem of the artist and the muse that introduced the fashion for blondes in the modeling business. Their collaboration began in the late 1990s, when no one knew Schiffer yet. For seven long years they worked together. The passion has passed, the campaigns are over, and the friendship still lasts.

Lily-Rose Depp

Quite fresh blood in Lagerfeld's collection, but it has already managed to outshine Kendall Jenner and the Hadid sisters, who also claimed the role of muses. Let's see if she can stay in this position longer than her mother.

Cara Delevingne

Karl Lagerfeld decided to dilute his elegant and pedantic world with the rebellious temper of Cara Delevingne. With the model, the designer uses the "carrot and stick" method: complains about her tattoos and scolds for endless selfies on Instagram, but does not let her out of the favorites.

Kristen Stewart

The actress has become a personal brand of heroin for the designer. He invites her to almost all the projects of the fashion house, has repeatedly publicly admired her talents and stated that she is the perfect embodiment of the modern image of Chanel.

Inesse de la Fressange

Lagerfeld's biggest love was Inez de la Fressange, until in 1989 they had a quarrel that stretched for 20 years. In short, it was like this: de la Fressange agreed to pose for a bust of Marianne (a symbol of France), and Lagerfeld was against it, since it is the personification of a boring and pathetic bourgeoisie and does not fit in with his views in any way. Everyone stood by their opinion, and the couple broke up until the German's heart melted, and they began to communicate again. The friendship continued, but Lagerfeld is in no hurry to call her into projects.

Keira Knightley

The actress played in a mini-movie about Gabrielle Chanel and couturier. Delighted that Knightley was invited to the role for a reason, Lagerfeld suggested that she become the new face of Coco Mademoiselle fragrance altogether. He says he doesn't see any better candidates than her yet.

Caroline de Maigret

Another love of Karl Lagerfeld since the nineties. Only she managed to achieve more than everyone else: from a muse, she grew into a global ambassador for Chanel.
