Omschrijving
The most intimate and well-documented biography on Karl Lagerfeld.
'Karl Lagerfeld's personal life is examined in a new book by Raphaëlle Bacqué.' -- The Daily Mail.
'Mr. Lagerfeld represented the designer of the future: multitasking, collaborative, a celebrity. He gladly fed — and fed off — the dizzying cycle of consumption.' -- The New York Times
"The result is a detailed, sometimes shocking, sometimes sad, sometimes hilarious look at a fashion genius." -- Cellophaneland
“In 2019, the fashion world lost one of its visionaries. In this bestselling intimate biography, recently translated into English, French investigative journalist Raphaelle Bacque interviews several of Karl Lagerfeld’s confidants, colleagues and employers.” -- Daniella Saunders, Country & Town House
"Thus emerges the story of Karl Lagerfeld: his father's past in the heart of wartime Germany, his rivalry with Yves Saint Laurent (enflamed by his only love, Jacques de Bascher) and the networks he forged with the biggest luxury manufacturers in the world as he compiled his vast fortune." - Lovely Books
"The series adapted from Kaiser Karl by Raphaëlle Bacqué will be broadcasted in June 5th, 2024. It’s a coproduction between Disney + and Gaumont." - Disney News
