The iconic designer and Chanel creative director died at 85 today, after a noticeable absence from Paris Fashion Week events last month. Best known for his work revitalizing Chanel and cementing the brand’s iconography in the minds of many, Lagerfeld was a pop-cultural figure, with a string of legendary collaborations to boot.

“If I was a magic genie and could afford to give [free college] to everyone, I would,” presidential hopeful Amy Klobuchar said, speaking at Saint Anselm College in reference to Bernie Sanders’s philosophy. “I have to tell the truth.”

Lee Radziwill, the younger sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, died on Friday at 85. In a revealing V.F. interview from 2016, the socialite and style icon looked back at how she and her sister dealt with fame and tragedy in their deeply intertwined lives.
