Anna Wintour expressed her love for Lagerfeld in a heartfelt speech: "Karl and I have shared many extraordinary moments over the years, and I'd gladly share a few of them with you, if it weren't for the fact that Karl, of all people, would be horrified. Why look back, when there is so much waiting in the future? More than anyone I know, he represents the soul of fashion: restless, forward-looking and voraciously attentive to our changing culture. It was Karl who realized, earlier than most, that ready-to-wear wasn't just couture-lite, but the vibrant center of the new, accomplished woman's lifestyle. At a time when many of his peers were seeking shelter in fashion houses, he branched out alone, designing multiple labels with enough electric energy to power all the billboards in Piccadilly Circus. I sometimes joke to Karl that he's a one-man superbrand – an image as iconic as the outline of a Chanel suit." -Anna Wintour to Karl Lagerfeld.
