The designer was 85 years old. It's reported that Lagerfeld passed away on Tuesday 19 February.
The designer has been an icon of fashion since designing his first collection for Chanel in 1983. He was absent from Chanel's shows in January, prompting health concerns.
In a statement following the second show without an appearance from Lagerfeld, Chanel stated that the designer was 'feeling tired' and 'asked Virginie Viard, director of the creative studio of the house, to represent him.' January was the first time Karl had ever missed an end-of-catwalk bow at one of his shows.
Paris Match reports that Karl was hospitalised on Monday night and passed on Tuesday morning. More to follow.
