Who took over Chanel after Coco died?

1 Answer
After Coco died, Yvonne Dudel, Jean Cazaubon and Philippe Guibourgé took over Chanel. During the early 1970s, Jacques Wertheimer purchased the controlling interest in the French fashion house, and his son, Alain Wertheimer, took over for him in 1974. Karl Lagerfeld became the creative director of Chanel in 1983 and served in the role until his death in 2019. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Chanel apparel, bags and accessories.
