It was shot by you ? How one can describe with words losing the person he looks up to and aspires the most, source of inspiration and motivation. A true legend that never played by the rules but also set most of the ones people follow today. A person that put his heart so much into his work that the world fell in love with him for generations. You have been a school for all of us, you will always be present, reminding and defining what fashion is. Has been an honor to meet you. Au revoir à un vrai Monsieur, nous t’aimerons pour toujours.

We lost a true legend!!!! You were such an inspiration to the world! You shot my first fashion shoot and I was so nervous to work with such an icon! The world is so much chicer because you existed! I am beyond honored to have met you and had the opportunity to work with you. You are so loved and will be so missed ?

Karl … thank you for taking @willowsmith under your wing and teaching her so much. Thank you for  the advice you would give me on my hairstyles and how it was much nicer less extreme? You were so kind and that’s a rare find in your industry. I will miss you. You are not only a legend but a deeply gentle, caring soul. Rest in love Karl❤️
