Karl Otto Lagerfeld was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1933. With Lagerfeld representing both an immense talent in the fashion world, and also emblematic of an older generation of men in power who loudly proclaimed views deemed wildly offensive - in a society that has dwindling patience for such positions - thus begs the following questions: Who was Karl Lagerfeld, and why is this year's Met Gala theme honoring his legacy? Who was Karl Lagerfeld? Last month, the High Fashion Met Gala Twitter account - the "official page of high fashion Twitter's Met Gala event," according to the bio, though they are not associated with the Met Costume Institute - which has nearly 40,000 followers, announced that they would not be "celebrating this year's met gala as our values don't align with the selection of Karl Lagerfeld as the theme."
Anna Wintour and Karl Lagerfeld attend the British Fashion Awards 2015 at London Coliseum on November 23, 2015, in London, England.
