About the book: 2020 / A difficult childhood with an oppressive mother, the first fashion show, life in Paris and a tragically ended relationship with the only close person. Karl Lagerfeld had to come a long way before becoming a legendary creator and world-famous designer. But which of his biography was true, and which was just another legend invented by the couturier himself? After all, Karl Lagerfeld deliberately turned his life into a series of riddles and secrets, hiding even his own year of birth. He always kept his private life a secret, and only a select circle could guess how the fashion designer lived, who he loved and what he lost. Lauren Allen-Caron found friends and relatives of Karl Lagerfeld, studied documentary information and conducted his own investigation. Now everyone can find out what was really hidden behind the expensive suits and dark glasses of the great Master.
