The German fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has died.

The 85-year-old creative director of Chanel has died after a period of ill-health.

He recently missed the brand's fashion show in Paris for the first time since 1983, because he was tired.

The Chief Executive of the British Fashion Council has labelled Lagerfeld's death as a great loss to the industry.

Caroline Rush believes his unrivalled contribution to the fashion industry changed the way women dress and perceive fashion.

Victoria Beckham has also paid tribute to the designer - calling him a "genius".
