Lagerfeld, Fashion, and Cultural Heritage
When Karl Lagerfeld took over the Maison Chanel in 1983, its founder, Coco Chanel, had been dead for twelve years, and the iconic brand was foundering. Once the epitome of French glamour, history, and feminine luxury, the house was rapidly losing prestige and relevance.

As for those who have never had a broken arm, realized that they do not an arm is, any more than did before broke mine (Reverdy 1956: 32). There it is, a truism, of course: can tell my doctor where hurt; can even describe my pain with some degree of accuracy, but cannot make him feel it. My broken ar…
