Karl Lagerfeld : a life in fashion

Kaiser, Alfons, 1965-2022
Books
Karl Lagerfeld stylized himself into a living logo and a myth of the fashion world. In 'Karl Lagerfeld,' journalist Alfons Kaiser, who knew Lagerfeld personally for many years, introduces readers to the public and private life of the charismatic fashion designer. Kaiser explores the many eras of Lagerfeld's life: the youthful outsider in the north German flatlands; the urbane genius in Paris; the tireless draftsman; the enthusiastic photographer; the passionate book collector; and the disciplined Prussian workaholic. What is behind this larger-than-life figure who, despite a massively public persona, kept his own life story a secret? Drawing from many previously untapped sources, this biography investigates the man behind the persona.
