Karl Lagerfeld is one of the most mysterious figures in the history of world fashion. Everyone knows him, and at the same time they know almost nothing about him. How did the king of the podium, who had been in the spotlight for decades, succeed? And why did the father of fashion turn himself into a legend? French journalist Laurent Allan-Caron asked these and many other questions to friends and relatives of the couturier, and carefully collected their answers into a true and convincing portrait of a genius who first carefully built the life of his dreams and then lived it with taste. The author delicately opened the curtain on Lagerfeld''s secret, making a wonderful gift to all fans of Kaiser Karl''s talent.
