Karl Lagerfeld Is Not Leaving Chanel – 18/3/10


Due to mounting speculation that Alber Elbaz will be replacing Lagerfeld, (see yesterday’s MO Down), the luxury label was forced to issue a press release denying the rumour.

The official word is: "Karl Lagerfeld is the creative designer of Chanel and has a long-term contract with the company. Replacing him is not an issue."

Lagerfeld himself denied the same rumour last July. See our July 10 report for his extremely memorable rebuff.
