Fashion journalist Derek Blasberg commented on Apple’s appearance on Chanel Twitter.
“Karl Lagerfeld met Apple Martin when she was four and said that one day she would be a Chanel girl,” he wrote. “It happened today!”

“This woman gives me hope for the future of the sisterhood and for the future of our planet. And this woman made me the woman I am today more than anyone.
