Creator of stylish clothing, [name] - Hamburg's new promenade is named after designer Karl Lagerfeld.
Five years after the passing away of a renowned fashion icon, Hamburg now boasts a Karl Lagerfeld Promenade. A 155-meter-long walkway and hiking trail along an Alster arm in the city's heart has been named after the stylist on Thursday. Kultur Senator Carsten Brosda (SPD) remarked at the ceremony, "Lagerfeld's inimitable style placed him as a trendsetter in the global fashion industry." "Lagerfeld's artistic soul has left its footprint in his birthplace – now also in the form of a promenade."
Sporting a white ponytail, sunglasses, and a more pronounced collar, Lagerfeld transformed himself into an artistic persona and a myth. He influenced fashion for more than half a century. He brought back the limelight for tweed jackets with belts and frills, merged haute couture dresses with sneakers. He also nurtured the careers of top models Claudia Schiffer and, later, his male muse Baptiste Giabiconi.
