Following his wishes, the designer will be cremated.
“There will be no burial, rather than die,” said Karl Lagerfeld in April 2018, in an interview with “Number” magazine. Before adding:
“Since these dark stories of the Hallyday family, where the funeral at the Madeleine seemed like a farce, I asked that I be incinerated and that my ashes be dispersed with those of my mother… and those of Choupette if she dies before me.”
The day after his death, the designer spokesman brand confirms to AFP that no ceremony will be held. “His wishes will be respected.”“If one day I die, I do not want a burial ceremony,” said Karl Lagerfeld on “Le Divan” a talk show hosted by Marc-Olivier Fogiel. “I find it horrible, I just want to disappear like the animals of the jungle, it’s horrible to clutter people with their remains.”
As he wanted, the artistic director of Chanel must be cremated, and his ashes join to those of his mother and some of Jacques de Bascher, the dandy who was the great love of his life, until his death in 1989 - (knowing that another half of the ashes had been handed over to Bascher’s family). These ashes “are in a secret place, and one day I will be added mine,” Karl Lagerfeld told Marie Ottavi in the book titled “Jacques de Bascher, shadow dandy”, published by “Editions Séguier”. Just to remind here that Karl sat down with Marie Ottavi, a journalist at French daily Libération, to share his most intimate memories to date for her tome, “Jacques de Bascher, dandy de l’ombre”
If he abhorred the very idea of a tribute, tributes pourred in after his death, at age of 85, coming from all over the world, greeted by the celebrities of the fashion leading personalities and, anonymous people.
During the next Paris Fashion Week (Women’s), which will begin on February 25, and will be closed on March 5 by the Chanel show, the fashion world won’t want to respect the “Kaiser” last wishes. This incoming Chanel fashion show had been already prepared by both Karl Lagerfeld jointly with Virginie Viard, his right-hand woman, appointed to take over the Chanel artistic director role.
