“admiring and ferocious”<\/em> — France Inter <\/strong><\/p>\n

“This first biography, fed by many first-rate witnesses… we laugh, we shudder, we admire.”<\/em> — Elle<\/strong><\/p>\n

“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.”<\/em> — Lovely Books<\/strong><\/p>\n

“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.”<\/em>

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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
