Outside Chanel’s flagship store in Paris, fans of Karl Lagerfeld left flowers and tributes to the fashion superstar within hours of the announcement of his death on Tuesday. The boutique in the heart of Paris, close to the luxurious Place Vendome and Rue Faubourg Saint-Honore, was where Coco Chanel opened her shops and workshops 100 years ago as she built up her international fashion line that still bears her name. “I’m so, so sad,” Yakin Benk, a tourist visiting Paris from Turkey, told AFP.
