Karl Lagerfeld, Iconic Chanel Designer dies at 85

Published

on

Yesterday the fashion world has lost one of the remarkable figures in the industry, Karl Lagerfeld, the iconic German Designer and creative director for Chanel and Fend.

Lagerfeld has worked tirelessly for LVMH’s Fendi and his own label, up until his death. And his designs are known to have added yet another charm to the label.

Karl Lagerfeld had been designing for Fendi since 1965 and had been at the creative helm of Chanel since 1983. All of this, while still maintaining to design collections for his own brand.

He changed his name as he believed Lagerfeld sounded “more commercial”.

Lagerfeld was known to encourage young and new designers, like Victoria Beckham – who has praised him for his kindness and generosity.

It’s true Lagerfeld has left our world, but his work and memory will forever be deeply embedded in the hearts of many, and that was apparent in the many profound tributes sent his way.

“Today the world lost a giant among men,” said the editor-in-chief of Vogue magazine, Anna Wintour.

Industry heavyweights, celebrities and even political figures, have all issued heartfelt tributes.

DAWLY’S MESSAGE STIRS UP THE UNDERGROUND INTO AN AVALANCHE

Published

on

A BLIZZARD TAKES OVER EGYPT WITH THE RISING TIDE OF THE UNDERGROUND! El Waili and Moscow drop a visually surreal piece dedicated to the creative forces that have shaped and given rise to Egypt’s dominant rap and trap scene. Already climbing to the top 5 on YouTube’s trending music as well as worldwide, the music video has shaken the scene with its unique visual creativity in terms of production, stunning incorporation of CGI and symbolism on all levels. A bone chilling track and music video, encapsulating Cairo in Moscow’s sub-zero bars, it boasts a diverse, energetic and upbeat audio production by El Waili, while the visual component complimented the music video’s production and artistic direction.
Stopping everyone in their tracks was the music video’s final shot over Cairo’s buildings presenting a powerful message from the creators of the clip choosing not to write the names of those involved in the creation of this piece, but instead dedicating it as symbolic tribute to the independent directors and talented individuals behind Egypt’s booming rap and trap scene. This struck a chord with the directors in the scene, causing a wave of shares and reposting in support of the piece, transforming overnight into a trend amongst the community.
The track being leaked had a profound effect on El Waili, wondering whether to release the song in full force, he was torn and considered it as “a personal war, with my ego not allowing me to release the track just because it got leaked”. Instead of allowing that voice to win, he listened to the encouraging

and energetic voices of those around him. Turning the track leak around in their favor, they transformed the music video into an anonymous message of support and solidarity to the struggling and rising talent in the scene, with the creators going down as saying “ultimately, no effort ever goes to waste”. This still leaves many wondering whether there will be an official reveal of the talent behind Dawly. One thing that’s known for certain is the dominant position that Egypt’s rap and trap scene holds in the region, that’s been painstakingly built up, mirrors the pyramids as a symbol of prestige and awe-inspiring power, that owes its creation to the talented minds that began in the underground music scene, both those who’ve been praised and that still remain anonymous.
