KarlLagerfeld
Icon ofFashion Design
Brief Introduction
Karl Otto Lagerfeld was a German creative director, fashion designer, artist, photographer, and caricaturist who lived in Paris.He was known as the creative director of the French fashion house Chanel, a position held from 1983 until his death, and was also creative director of the Italian fur and leather goods fashion house Fendi, and of his own eponymous fashion label. He collaborated on a variety of fashion and art-related projects.Lagerfeld was recognized for his signature white hair, black sunglasses, fingerless gloves, and high, starched, detachable collars.
Start
Early career & Fendi (1955-1982)
In 1955, Lagerfeld befriended Yves Saint Laure. In 1958, Lagerfeld became the artistic director for Jean Patou. In 1964, he worked for a multitude of brands, including Charles Jourdan, Chloé, Krizia, and Valentino.In 1967, he was hired by Fendi to modernize their fur line.
International fame with Chanel (1982–2000)
In the 1980s, Lagerfeld was hired by Chanel. He brought life back into the company, making it a huge success by revamping its ready-to-wear fashion line. Lagerfeld integrated the interlocked “CC” monograph of Coco Chanel into a style pattern for the House of Chanel.In 1984, a year after his start at Chanel, Lagerfeld began his own eponymous “Karl Lagerfeld” brand. The brand was established to channel “intellectual sexiness”.In 1993, US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour walked out of his Milan Fashion Week runway show, when he employed strippers and adult-film star Moana Pozzi to model his black-and-white collection for Fendi.
Collaboration in 2002
In 2002, Lagerfeld asked Renzo Rosso, the founder of Diesel, to collaborate with him on a special denim collection for the Lagerfeld Gallery
What an late 2000s
ALagerfeld and investments enterprise Dubai Infinity Holdings (DIH) signed a deal to design limited edition homes on the island of Isla Moda. A feature-length documentary film on the designer, Lagerfeld Confidential, was made by Vogue in 2007. Later in the year, Lagerfeld was made the host of the fictional radio station K109—the studio in the video game Grand Theft Auto IV, Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned and Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony.In 2008, he created a teddy bear in his likeness produced by Steiff in an edition of 2,500 that sold for $1,500. and has been immortalized in many forms, which include pins, shirts, dolls, and more. In 2009, Tra Tutti began selling Karl Lagermouse and Karl Lagerfelt, which are mini-Lagerfelds in the forms of mice and finger puppets, respectively.
About His Family
Lagerfeld was born on 10 September 1933 in Hamburg, to Elisabeth (née Bahlmann) and businessman Otto Lagerfeld. His father owned a company that produced and imported evaporated milk; while his maternal grandfather, Karl Bahlmann, was a local politician for the Catholic Centre Party. His family belonged to the Old Catholic Church. When Lagerfeld’s mother met his father, she was a lingerie saleswoman from Berlin. His parents married in 1930.Lagerfeld was known to misrepresent his birth year, claiming to be younger than his actual age, and to misrepresent his parents’ background. For example, he claimed that he was born in 1938 to “Elisabeth of Germany” and Otto Ludwig Lagerfeldt from Sweden.These claims have been conclusively proven to be false, as his father was from Hamburg and spent his entire life in Germany, with no Swedish connection. There is also no evidence that his mother Elisabeth Bahlmann, the daughter of a middle-class local politician, called herself “Elisabeth of Germany”. He was known to insist that no one knows his real birth date. In an interview on French television in February 2009, Lagerfeld said that he was “born neither in 1933 nor 1938”.
Childhood Memory
As a child, he showed great interest in visual arts, and former schoolmates recalled that he was always making sketches “no matter what we were doing in class”. Lagerfeld told interviewers that he learned much more by constantly visiting the Kunsthalle Hamburg museum than he ever did in school. His greatest inspiration came from French artists, and he claimed to have only continued school in order to learn the French language so that he could move there. Lagerfeld finished his secondary school at the Lycée Montaigne in Paris, where he majored in drawing and history.
The Secret Revealed
In April 2013, he finally declared that he was born in 1935. A birth announcement was, however, published by his parents in 1933, and the baptismal register in Hamburg also lists him as born in that year, showing that he was born on 10 September 1933. Bild am Sonntag published his baptismal records in 2008 and interviewed his teacher and a classmate, who both confirmed that he was born in 1933. The same was later confirmed by his death record. Despite that, Karl Lagerfeld announced publicly that he was celebrating his “70th birthday” on 10 September 2008, despite actually turning 75.His older sister, Martha Christiane “Christel”, was born in 1931. Lagerfeld had an older half-sister, Thea, from his father’s first marriage. His family name has been spelled both Lagerfeldt (with a “t”) and Lagerfeld. Like his father, he used the spelling Lagerfeld, considering it to “sound more commercial”.His family was mainly shielded from the deprivations of World War II due to his father’s business interests in Germany through the firm Glücksklee-Milch GmbH. His father had been in San Francisco during the 1906 earthquake.
His Words of Wisdom
What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever.
The only love that I really believe in is a mother’s love for her children.
You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans — it’s up to you.
Dieting is the only game where you win when you lose!
A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul
Don’t look to the approval of others for your mental stability
Books are a hard-bound drug with no danger of an overdose.
Clear thinking at the wrong moment can stifle creativity.

Summary for Tim Berners-Lee
Tim Berners-Lee
Sir Timothy John Berners-Lee OM KBE FRS FREng FRSA FBCS (born 8 June 1955), also known as TimBL, is an English engineer and computer scientist, best known as the inventor of the World Wide Web. He is currently a Professorial Fellow of Computer Science at the University of Oxford and Professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). He made a proposal for an information management system on 12 March 1989, and he implemented the first successful communication between a Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) client and server via the internet in mid-November the same year.
Berners-Lee is the director of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), which oversees the continued development of the Web. He is also the founder of the World Wide Web Foundation and is a senior researcher and holder of the 3Com founders chair at the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL). He is a director of the Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI), and a member of the advisory board of the MIT Center for Collective Intelligence. In 2011, he was named as a member of the board of trustees of the Ford Foundation. He is a founder and president of the Open Data Institute, and is currently an advisor at social network MeWe.
In 2004, Berners-Lee was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his pioneering work. In April 2009, he was elected a Foreign Associate of the National Academy of Sciences. Named in Time magazine’s list of the 100 Most Important People of the 20th century, Berners-Lee has received a number of other accolades for his invention. He was honoured as the “Inventor of the World Wide Web” during the 2012 Summer Olympics opening ceremony, in which he appeared in person, working with a vintage NeXT Computer at the London Olympic Stadium. He tweeted “This is for everyone”, which instantly was spelled out in liquid-crystal display (LCD) lights attached to the chairs of the 80,000 people in the audience. Berners-Lee received the 2016 Turing Award “for inventing the World Wide Web, the first web browser, and the fundamental protocols and algorithms allowing the Web to scale”.

Early Life and Education
Berners-Lee was born on 8 June 1955 in London, England, the eldest of the four children of Mary Lee Woods and Conway Berners-Lee; his brother Mike is an expert on greenhouse gases. His parents were computer scientists who worked on the first commercially built computer, the Ferranti Mark 1. He attended Sheen Mount Primary School, and then went on to attend south west London’s Emanuel School from 1969 to 1973, at the time a direct grant grammar school, which became an independent school in 1975. A keen trainspotter as a child, he learnt about electronics from tinkering with a model railway. He studied at The Queen’s College, Oxford, from 1973 to 1976, where he received a first-class bachelor of arts degree in physics. While at university, Berners-Lee made a computer out of an old television set, which he bought from a repair shop.
Career and Research
After graduation, Berners-Lee worked as an engineer at the telecommunications company Plessey in Poole, Dorset. In 1978, he joined D. G. Nash in Ferndown, Dorset, where he helped create type-setting software for printers.
Berners-Lee worked as an independent contractor at CERN from June to December 1980. While in Geneva, he proposed a project based on the concept of hypertext, to facilitate sharing and updating information among researchers. To demonstrate it, he built a prototype system named ENQUIRE.
After leaving CERN in late 1980, he went to work at John Poole’s Image Computer Systems, Ltd, in Bournemouth, Dorset. He ran the company’s technical side for three years. The project he worked on was a “real-time remote procedure call” which gave him experience in computer networking. In 1984, he returned to CERN as a fellow.
In 1989, CERN was the largest internet node in Europe, and Berners-Lee saw an opportunity to join hypertext with the internet. Berners-Lee wrote his proposal in March 1989 and, in 1990, redistributed it. It then was accepted by his manager, Mike Sendall, who called his proposals ‘vague, but exciting’. He used similar ideas to those underlying the ENQUIRE system to create the World Wide Web, for which he designed and built the first Web browser. His software also functioned as an editor (called WorldWideWeb, running on the NeXTSTEP operating system), and the first Web server, CERN HTTPd (short for Hypertext Transfer Protocol daemon).
The first website was built at CERN. Despite this being an international organisation hosted by Switzerland, the office that Berners-Lee used was just across the border in France. The website was put online on 6 August 1991 for the first time.
It provided an explanation of what the World Wide Web was, and how people could use a browser and set up a web server, as well as how to get started with your own website. In a list of 80 cultural moments that shaped the world, chosen by a panel of 25 eminent scientists, academics, writers, and world leaders, the invention of the World Wide Web was ranked number one, with the entry stating, “The fastest growing communications medium of all time, the internet has changed the shape of modern life forever. We can connect with each other instantly, all over the world”.
In 1994, Berners-Lee founded the W3C at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It comprised various companies that were willing to create standards and recommendations to improve the quality of the Web. Berners-Lee made his idea available freely, with no patent and no royalties due. The World Wide Web Consortium decided that its standards should be based on royalty-free technology, so that they easily could be adopted by anyone.
In 2001, Berners-Lee became a patron of the East Dorset Heritage Trust, having previously lived in Colehill in Wimborne, East Dorset. In December 2004, he accepted a chair in computer science at the School of Electronics and Computer Science, University of Southampton, Hampshire, to work on the Semantic Web.
In a Times article in October 2009, Berners-Lee admitted that the initial pair of slashes (“//”) in a web address were “unnecessary”. He told the newspaper that he easily could have designed web addresses without the slashes. “There you go, it seemed like a good idea at the time”, he said in his lighthearted apology.
Personal Life
Tim Berners-Lee
Berners-Lee married Nancy Carlson, an American computer programmer, in 1990; she was also working in Switzerland, at the World Health Organization. They had two children and divorced in 2011. In 2014 he married Rosemary Leith at the Chapel Royal, St. James’s Palace in London. Leith is a Canadian internet and banking entrepreneur, and a founding director of Berners-Lee’s World Wide Web Foundation. The couple also collaborate on venture capital to support artificial intelligence companies.
Berners-Lee was raised as an Anglican, but in his youth, he turned away from religion. After he became a parent, he became a Unitarian Universalist (UU). He has stated: “Like many people, I had a religious upbringing which I rejected as a teenager … Like many people, I came back to religion when we had children”. He and his wife wanted to teach spirituality to their children, and after hearing a Unitarian minister and visiting the UU Church, they opted for it. He is an active member of that church, to which he adheres because he perceives it as a tolerant and liberal belief. He has said: “I believe that much of the philosophy of life associated with many religions is much more sound than the dogma which comes along with it. So I do respect them.”

Internet entrepreneur
About Zuckerberg
Mark Zuckerberg
Mark Elliot Zuckerberg is an internet entrepreneur and philanthropist from America. He co-founded Facebook and serves as its current chairman and chief executive officer. A New York native, Zuckerberg studied psychology and computer science at Harvard University. During this period, he and his college roommates, Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz, and Chris Hughes, launched Facebook from their dormitory. Initially meant to be for select college campuses, the site witnessed exponential growth in the following few years and became the world’s biggest social media platform. As of the third quarter of 2018, Facebook had amassed over 2.27 billion monthly active users. Zuckerberg has also been involved with several other projects, including Wirehog, a file-sharing program, and Internet.org, a conglomerate of several companies attempting to bring affordable access to selected internet services in less developed countries. Over the course of his professional career, Zuckerberg has encountered a number of legal controversies. In April 2018, he appeared before the United States Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation to testify on Facebook’s use of personal data in relation to the Facebook–Cambridge Analytica data breach. Since 2010, he has been listed among the 100 wealthiest and most influential people by ‘Time’ magazine as part of its Person of the Year issue. In 2016, Forbes named him the 10th most powerful person in the world.
Childhood & Early Life
Born on May 14, 1984, in White Plains, New York, Mark Zuckerberg is one of the four children and only son of Karen (née Kempner) and Edward Zuckerberg. His mother is a psychiatrist while his father is a dentist.His three sisters are Randi, Donna and Arielle. They grew up in Dobbs Ferry, New York, in a Reform Jewish household. He is a descendant of immigrants from Germany, Poland, and Austria.Zuckerberg was an exemplary student. He attended Ardsley High School before transferring to Phillips Exeter Academy, in New Hampshire, in his junior year. During his time there, he earned several prizes in science and classical studies.He also went to the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth summer camp. Zuckerberg is reportedly fluent in French, Hebrew, Latin, and ancient Greek. He also served as the captain of the fencing team at his prep school.Zuckerberg has been creating software programs since he was in school. His father gave him some of his first lessons in programming by teaching him Atari BASIC Programming in the 1990s. He was later taught by software developer David Newman. One of his first programs was Zucknet, which is considered to be a precursor of AOL’s Instant Messenger.
College Life & Development of Facebook
Mark in 2005
While Mark Zuckerberg was in high school, he landed a job at a company called Intelligent Media Group to develop a music player called Synapse Media Player. He had already garnered a reputation as a programming prodigy when he enrolled in Harvard in 2002. As part of the class of 2006, he was pursuing degrees in psychology and computer science and was a member of Alpha Epsilon Pi and Kirkland House. During his sophomore year, he developed a program that he named Facemash, which allowed the students to pick the best-looking person from a selection of photographs.After being active during the weekend, Facemash was closed down by Harvard as it clogged one of its network switches and denied many students access to the internet. There were also complaints from many students about the use of their photographs without their consent. Zuckerberg eventually made a public apology.In January 2004, he developed the code for his new website. On 4 February, he launched “TheFacebook” from his college dormitory. At first, their service was limited only to Harvard but later Zuckerberg decided to expand it to other schools.
Career: Facebook
On February 4, 2004, Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard dormitory room. An earlier inspiration for Facebook may have come from Phillips Exeter Academy, the prep school from which Zuckerberg graduated in 2002. It published its own student directory, “The Photo Address Book”, which students referred to as “The Facebook”. Such photo directories were an important part of the student social experience at many private schools. With them, students were able to list attributes such as their class years, their friends, and their telephone numbers.Facebook is an American online social media and social networking service based in Menlo Park, California and a flagship service of the namesake company Facebook, Inc. It was founded by Mark Zuckerberg, along with fellow Harvard College students and roommates Eduardo Saverin, Andrew McCollum, Dustin Moskovitz and Chris Hughes.
The founders initially limited Facebook membership to Harvard students. Membership was expanded to Ivy League schools, MIT, and higher education institutions in the Boston area, then various other universities, and lastly high school students. Since 2006, anyone who claims to be at least 13 years old has been allowed to become a registered user of Facebook, though this may vary depending on local laws. The name comes from the face book directories often given to American university students.The Facebook service can be accessed from devices with Internet connectivity, such as personal computers, tablets and smartphones. After registering, users can create a profile revealing information about themselves. They can post text, photos and multimedia which is shared with any other users that have agreed to be their “friend”, or, with a different privacy setting, with any reader. Users can also use various embedded apps, join common-interest groups, buy and sell items or services on Marketplace, and receive notifications of their Facebook friends’ activities and activities of Facebook pages they follow. Facebook claimed that it had more than 2.3 billion monthly active users as of December 2018.
`
Facebook has been subject to extensive media coverage and many controversies. These often involve user privacy (as with the Cambridge Analytica data scandal), political manipulation (as with the 2016 U.S. elections), psychological effects such as addiction and low self-esteem, and content that some users find objectionable, including fake news, conspiracy theories, and copyright infringement. Commentators have accused Facebook of helping to spread false information and fake news. In 2017, Facebook partnered with fact checkers from the Poynter Institute’s International Fact-Checking Network to identify and mark false content, though most ads from political candidates are exempt from this program. Critics of the program accuse Facebook of not doing enough to remove false information from its website. Facebook was the most downloaded mobile app of the 2010s.
Personal Life
Mark and his wife
While Mark Zuckerberg was still attending Harvard, he met a biology student named Priscilla Chan at a fraternity party. They started dating sometime in 2003. Chan went on to study medicine at the University of California, San Francisco. In September 2010, they moved in together in his rented house in Palo Alto. They married on May 19, 2012, in Zuckerberg’s backyard. The occasion also commemorated Chan’s graduation from medical school.Chan underwent three miscarriages before giving birth to their daughter, Maxima, in 2015. In February 2016, the couple announced Maxima’s Chinese name, Chen Mingyu. Their second daughter, August, was born in August 2017.In July 2009, American author Ben Mezrich published his book ‘The Accidental Billionaires: The Founding of Facebook, a Tale of Sex, Money, Genius, and Betrayal’ through Doubleday. It was later turned into a film, the 2010 release, ‘The Social Network’. Aaron Sorkin wrote the screenplay, David Fincher served as the director, and Jesse Eisenberg portrayed Zuckerberg.
Religion, Politics & Philanthropy
Mark Zuckerberg grew up Jewish but later came out as an atheist. However, he has since stated that he has changed his position on the subject and now believes that religion is very important. There is a debate on Zuckerberg’s political affiliation. Some believe that he is a conservative while others consider him to be a liberal. Zuckerberg has donated money for education and immigration reforms. He supports the Black Lives Matter movement and instructed that the said phrase be written on the company walls. In December 2015, Zuckerberg and Chan set up Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a limited liability company, with the aim to “advance human potential and promote equality in areas such as health, education, scientific research and energy”.In an open letter to their daughter, Maxima, Chan and Zuckerberg revealed that they have decided to donate 99% of their Facebook shares to the initiative during their lives. They have also donated money for various other causes and services, including the battle against Ebola virus disease, an open-source personal web server called Diaspora, and Newark Public Schools.
