Timeline: Karl Lagerfeld fashion life in retrospective

German designer Karl Lagerfeld is celebrating one more birthday today. While the Kaiser's age is a controversial subject (he celebrated his 70th birthday in 2008 and his 79th birthday in 2012), he is not showing any signs of slowing down: Chanel recently denied retirement rumours. One can, therefore, expect some more years of glamorous catwalks from this fashion icon, who is at the helm of Chanel, Fendi and an eponymous label. FashionUnited highlights some of his accomplishments in the timeline below.
