A look at the fashion icon that was Karl Lagerfeld, one of the most flamboyant and recognisable figures in fashion - and one of the most mysterious. His influence was immeasurable, from the Chanel catwalk to the high street - but how many people ever really knew the real Karl Lagerfeld? Weaving investigations in the present with Lagerfeld’s biography – illustrated by illuminating and much unseen archive footage – this film shows his profound and lasting effect on those around him, including his beloved cat Choupette.

Karl Lagerfeld a été le roi incontesté de la mode pendant plus de 40 ans. Immédiatement reconnaissable avec ses lunettes de soleil et sa queue de cheval argentée, il a transformé la haute couture d'un intérêt de niche en un divertissement dramatique à grand spectacle.
