About the Book

"admiring and ferocious" - France Inter "This first biography, fed by many first-rate witnesses... we laugh, we shudder, we admire." - Elle On the last morning of his life, Karl Lagerfeld's only companion was Sebastien, his bodyguard and right-hand man. The king of fashion insisted on being cremated, along with his universally recognisable 'gear' - the dark glasses and high starched collar that served as a bastion for his secrets. It is only now that witnesses have begun to talk. 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. Truly an unparalleled icon in the history of fashion, Lagerfeld's legacy lives on today. AUTHOR: Raphaelle Bacque is one of today's best-known contemporary journalists. Her reputation is built on the bestsellers she has authored alone or co-authored with Ariane Chemin (Les Strauss-Kahn, La femme fatale, Richie, Le dernier mort de Mitterrand...), as well as her investigations published in Le Monde. SELLING POINTS: . An intimate and well-documented biography of Karl Lagerfeld, ex-creative director of Chanel and international fashion icon . Reveals the man behind the mask: the great couturier, the adorer of women, the unrepentant provocateur . A huge bestseller in France - over 40,000 copies sold . Worldwide publication in English to mark the first anniversary of his death . A luxurious hardback, finished with quarter-bound cloth 12 b/w images

Review :
'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 "Anyone who wants to gain a deeper insight into the life of the real Karl Lagerfeld will find the biography "Kaiser Karl" to be the right reading material." - Harper's Bazaar Germany
