Karl Lagerfeld's final collection for Fendi was shown at Milan Fashion Week, and the fashion house paid tribute to the designer who passed away this week.
"The Fendi women's autumn/winter 2019 collection is the final collection designed by Karl Lagerfeld, representing a lifetime of dedication and creation from 1965 until today," the show notes read. "In his perpetual search for beauty and innovation, Karl's commitment to his craft never waned."
Gigi Hadid closed the show to a standing ovation, and fellow models Bella Hadid, Kaia Gerber and Adwoa Aboah also walked.

They also wrote: 'Immensely affected by his passing, Fendi wishes to celebrate Karl's unparalleled creativity and timeless legacy during today's Fall-Winter 19-20 fashion show.'
Those attending the show were left in tears during the final walk.
