Karl, who was born Karl Otto Lagerfeldt in 1933 in pre-war Germany, is said to have been unwell for several weeks, and had missed a number of fashion shows in Paris last month.

The designer was thought to have been working right up until his death, even directing and passing on instructions to his team about the Fendi AW/19 collection which is due to be shown at Milan Fashion Week this Thursday.
