Paris women's fashion week started late Monday with fashionistas in a sombre mood following the death of legendary designer Karl Lagerfeld last week.It is still not clear how much of the collection was created by Lagerfeld, who died last Tuesday aged 85.The workaholic German, who always insisted that he would design until he dropped, drew his creations by hand and then handed them on to Viard to realise.
