a show in january rumors began to swirl that he was ill but the company said he'd just been feeling tired all during a career spanning nearly seventy years hamburg born designer was one of the most prolific and modern fashion. he was a superstar among fashion designers the unmistakable karl lagerfeld complete with iconic sunglasses and long powdered white hair. a german design is spent more than six decades working in fashion he was an all around a to stick talent who became a legend in his lifetime. believed in under there they were living in a very very fast paced age and you have to keep up with things because if you don't you get behind a few that are in this profession you need to be healthy because the pain. that suits me a perfect ten pounds made for the fast life pushed me i want to put but if the hardest temple bit. karl lagerfeld was born in hamburg in one thousand nine hundred

thirty three the sum of the wealth effect trio now you moved to paris in one thousand to fifty three. or you later he won an international fashion design competition with the cold that he just signed himself from then on he seemed unstoppable. lagerfeld worked for the top aris in fashion brands he became artistic director of kuwait in one nine hundred sixty three twenty years later it reinvigorated the fan flocking brand chanel. lucky to be able to do what i want without having to worry about money nor do i have an f. robert just put on that we don't need to worry about anything that's the luxury of should know that we can do what we want to. extravagant presentations formed the high point of every paris fashion show the changing sides order signed by lagerfeld . he was also a publisher if you talk and a collector of antiques. the right to post a name. of the game when it came to his many muses to among them but he still

shelby county in west enough. and cloudy a ship. most comfy to move up they get doesn't have to have many muses in this. there's a kind of the how shall i put it off but he does not turn over that happens so frequently. that you have to stay flexible because it's been an injury that. despite being highly media savvy in his public life he kept his cards close to his chest when it came to his private life notorious with the holy his constant aim was to improve to get better. but. i'm never satisfied and as long as you're never satisfied you keep going as soon as you decide you're content with yourself or couldn't be any better it's time to call it a day it's all. about the felt and iconic to sign a good position history. to talk about the

legendary a logger felt with me here in the studio is said david leavitt's from our culture desk david good to see you rumors of him not being well were swirling around for some time yet this test come as a shock it does come as a shock even though he was eighty five years old it comes as a shock because it's hard to imagine of colorado as a mere mortal and this man was a legend he was an icon. and not necessarily of this world he once said i'm very down to earth i'm paraphrasing is that i'm very down to earth but not this earth and i think that really is true now he was renowned for his work ethic a lot of very talented young designers who only barely could keep up with the collections that they had to do i run us through some of the things that he did you know something that's really amazing about karl lagerfeld is in terms of his fashion he was really a sad. made man yes he grew up in

a wealthy family in germany but he basically followed his dream his own path to paris he without ever having gone to fashion school won an international prize for his designs and became the assistant to one of the great parisian designers from there he went on to take over the house of chloé and revive chanel which is something that no one thought anyone could do in the beginning of the eighty's chanel had fallen on hard times it was totally out of vogue and he came along and what he did was he looks to the past of the company and to the future at the same time and what i mean by that is he revived some of chanel's classic designs you know the tweed suit and so on but he really sex stood up and very different from his rival you saw the other famous parisian designer his rival in business and and loved by the way. home was known as the darling of the the upper class and. really played to the so-called wild the child the

parisyan he had these great shows in paris the best shows at paris fashion week the most and he also did something that was totally unheard of at the time of the early in the early two thousand he did a collection for h. and m. and put his name on it he did that before versace did it he did that before kenzo or stella mccartney did it so he also really played a role in democratizing these big names of the fashion world. and you know he later actually had a falling out with h. and m. over this but he had a falling out with many people who was not an easy person he was not and he had many snarky comments that we could write a book about what was the secret to his longevity you know i think it was i'm not his doctor but i think that it was his passion for fashion this is the guy who lost forty kilos because he saw this collection of suits by a designer in the steam on and he said i want to wear those and he lost forty kilos to do that he also. think really enjoyed being this polarizing figure you either

loved him or you hated him he called himself a caricature of himself he said you know for me it's always venice carnival that i live behind this mask and it really was a mask these dark glasses the powdered ponytail the fan that he carried at least in the eighty's and early ninety's you sort of wondered who it was behind the mask and now there was you know he gave us some hints to that he talks in some interviews about his love life or rather lack of love life he said he didn't sleep with people that he loved he only paid for sex so it seemed to have been an arm or a caricature it seemed to have been something that he could hide behind i think he was probably a pretty lonely person but i think that the big love of his life obviously was fashion now i mean the list of achievements is just so long i mean you really can't even go through it all he's a polyglot photographer our pop culture icon designer not just in fashion but

also furniture or you name it he's designed it hotel rooms what is his biggest achievement i mean i think his biggest achievement is becoming synonymous with fashion beyond the hundreds of collections that he designed and oversaw it is just becoming this figurehead that is inseparable from the fashion world itself and he did say a few years back that he had no plans to retire that that his passion was for working and that he wanted to do that until he died in that that was enough for him and he was a man of his word he was a man indeed of his word a car lakra felt died today at the age of eighty five in paris david leavitt's thank you. now i want to ring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. pakistan's prime minister in han has warned his country will we tell you if india takes. military action following last week's deadly attack in

dozens of mexican journalists like her have lost their lives trying to uncover these various stories and anders is currently living in exile because of death threats on her life. mexico is one of the deadliest countries for journalists. last year alone ten journalists were killed apparently as retribution for their work. especially at risk are those who dare to ask questions about mexico's drug cartels. the country's war on drugs has claimed tens of thousands of civilian lives in the past two decades. journalist and about hernandez is a survivor her family has been threatened at gunpoint and someone once left a box of decapitated animals on her doorstep. popular two thousand and ten book investigates ties between drug cartels and the mexican government she says her work

award the prize to hernandez. she stands for a lot of mexican journalists who have a really difficult job here in a country where corruption and not cause criminality is very high to do their job i don't think so it's a well deserved all i want for her and for all mexican journalists and then those hopes to return to mexico one day to be closer to her family she was glad to see mexico's new administration take a stance against government corruption but she believes it will take courageous deeds not just words to pull her country back from the brink. and to tell us more about this year's recipient of the freedom of speech award is in his poll. editor in chief hi. i'm bill hernandez is now effectively forced to a live in europe because of the threats to or her a wife can she still effectively carry out her work. well you know if she would be

living in mexico she probably would be killed. very soon so this is the only way for her to continue her work she told us that she is traveling back sometimes to the country she's obviously obviously very very connected she has many sources there and she also told us that roof a new president obama during she has some hope that her case or that the opportunity for her to work become will become a little bit easier let's listen to what she said when she learned about the award i am grateful for the freedom of speech award because i think this is kind of a way to recognize of the international community that people that business aster humanitarian that exist in mexico it's not just us possibility of the mexicans of them or the mexican government or the mexican cartels this is also a huge responsibility of the international community because all these innocent

drugs that are right to here it is because x. east a huge market of consumers and also government that let it get inside these drugs also because the mexican cartels laundry their dirty money their blood money in peace kind of a huge business. now and i said i want to take away from the achievements of one about her not best there are so many brave journalists out fair risking their lives day in day out just doing their job can you talk us through the reasons that. picked out about her nanda specifically for this year's award. well you know she's working since more than twenty five years and a huge amount of pressure she's really risking her life she's still risking her life but she has been under a lot of danger while she was working with in her own country she has been. right

she has been written a couple of really important books she's one of the most accomplished female journalists i would probably say in the world as you just mentioned mexico is one of the deadliest countries for journalists and actually the country was many many murders tens of thousands people people's get killed there every year so that was one reason but as. peter limburg said when we award her we also want to award all these journalists working within mexico trying to really dig out the truth to challenge the government and by doing some investigative work so she stands really for more than just herself. what do you think needs to be done to promote press freedom around the world. well let me start maybe with mexico i mean she herself talked

a little bit about the reason why this was super hard to report in mexico it is the government who feel is in this to good of journalist but it it's also the publishing houses and this is true for many other countries as well they just some of the interesting interested in publishing the truth so therefore it's very important for us to storage well of that we really try to work within these markets in these languages for example with a letter in america american service within the spanish language so we broadcast into countries like mexico because this is one possibility well to tell the truth and to fight for freedom of speech. in a supposed to w.'s the editor in chief joining us live from bonn thank you so much . and next we shift our attention to the u.k. where the japanese carmaker honda has announced it will close its plant in the british town of swindon in two years' time they also want is a blow to the british economy at
