During her tenure she worked with Karl Lagerfeld as he modernized the label for a younger generation.
“It is with great sadness that we have learned of Kitty D’Alessio’s passing. For almost a decade, Kitty was an integral force in the evolution of the House of Chanel, and was a key driver of the growth of the brand during the 1980s. She will be deeply missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family,” said a statement from Chanel.
Wertheimer told WWD in 1979 he had been considering a European for the job, “but that presents its own set of problems.D’Alessio attributed her hiring to Wertheimer’s “consistent and good offers.” Wooing Lagerfeld — who had previously turned down a job at Chanel in 1973 — to design Chanel couture was a major win for D’Alessio. She appealed to Lagerfeld’s many talents by assuring his work at other European houses could continue. Lagerfeld told Michael Gross in a Times article in 1985, “Without her, I never would have touched Chanel. Never in my life.”
His doubts sprung, he said, from a conversation that allegedly took place in a Parisian hairdresser’s in which Wertheimer’s mother, Eliane Hellbronn, a lawyer for the House of Chanel, said to the wife of Lagerfeld’s lawyer, Genevieve Hebey, that, “‘Karl won’t get anything from Chanel.'” Kopelman soon succeeded D’Alessio as president and chief operating of Chanel in 1986, and stayed in that role until 2004, and then became vice chairman. D’Alessio was moved over to vice chairman of new ventures and special projects at Chanel.
