The Mysterious Mr Lagerfeld
With unique access to Karl Lagerfeld’s inner circle - many having never spoken publically before - and his beloved cat, this film opens up the extraordinary world of the man known as Kaiser Karl.
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.
