KARL LAGERFELD A LIFE IN FASHION - ALFONS KAISE...

A Financial Times Book of the Year: the definitive story of fashion's most enigmatic icon. Karl
Lagerfeld lived a very public life. He shaped the Chanel and Fendi brands for decades  and his
wit and wisdom amused and informed the world. Yet despite a massively public persona  his
hinterland remained unknown. What is the truth behind this larger-than-life but enigmatic
figure? The journalist and fashion specialist Alfons Kaiser met Lagerfeld on numerous
occasions. He has now written the first authoritative biography on this fascinating character 
whose life has always been marked by elements of secrecy. From his parents¿ links with the Nazi
regime to Lagerfeld¿s last days in the company of only his closest friends  this book ¿ the
result of unprecedented archival and field work ¿ divulges all the facets of a passionate
artist and workaholic: the precocious boy who preferred to draw in the attic rather than play
with his peers  the son who quarrelled with his parents but never got away from them  the
competitor of Yves Saint Laurent  whom he outshone in the end  the brother  uncle  friend  and
finally  the partner of Jacques de Bascher  the great love of his life.
