I used to wear his cologne in the 90's. Lagerfeld Photo. The bottle cap looked like a camera lens. I still have a bottle somewhere. Maybe it'll be worth something now

I met my wife while working for him. He had his chef make us a special dinner, Oysters, Champagne, the whole bit. And has us sit apart from the rest of the gang. The best evening of my life, and while at work. A true gent and inspiration. Thank you KL...

I'm in shock. Wasn't he just caught by paparazzi walking around a few months ago. He appeared to be in good health.

RIP. I'll cherish my Chanel items more now.

When I was a kid my dad would occasionally be gifted cologne. Mom hated the stuff on him, so I often wound up with these gifts. One was Lagerfeld. I still have that same bottle (the one with the metal loop on top), from the '80s, still smells great.

RIP.
