Several Pinoy celebrities have also reacted to the death of Karl Lagerfeld, one of them was actress-host KC Concepcion.
KC wrote a heartwarming tribute on her Instagram Story about the fashion designer.
She talked about her experience, when she encountered him in Paris, France.
“I still remember fangirling over this icon at 19 years old when he came out with the skinny tie and I was living in Paris.
“I couldn't help but freeze when I found myself crossing paths with him one cold but Sunny day on rue Saint Honoré.
“He walked past me in front of Colette on my way home and I felt like I was in the presence of greatness.”
Heart Evangelista, Kelsey Merritt, and celebrity stylist Liz Uy also remembered Mr. Lagerfeld as well.
Meanwhile, Rajo Laurel expressed his sadness over the death of the creative genius saying that February 19 is a 'sad day in fashion.'
