KARL

Karl is a biopic about the life of no ordinary man… A man who once revolutionized the world of ‘Haute Couture’ and ‘Pret-a-Porter’ to better reinvent it as the fashion industry we know today… A man whose charisma and audacity influenced generations  of fashionistas worldwide… A man whose legacy is ‘the’ reference for generations to come.

Karl Lagerfeld was a workaholic, self-taught, visionary, ruthless, global, multidisciplinary, non-exclusive, full of energy, egocentric, culture addict, sarcastic, generous, hyper media, mysterious, collector, artist , fashion designer…  A true kaleidoscope of personalities in one man… A  genius… A ‘Kaiser’. 

Karl is a motion picture based on an Original Screenplay by Laurent Germain Maury & Jean-Marc Michelangeli, inspired by Marie Ottavi’s book Karl. According to the author:
-“Karl” is a biography which aims to disentangles the truth from the false in the life of Karl Lagerfeld.

During his lifetime, Karl had always declined  the idea of a collaboration to publish his memoirs, what made him open up to Marie will remain a mystery. One of many about Karl as the Kaiser left the earth with many unanswered questions.
