Lagerfeld Revealed

There has not been any authorised biography to the life of Karl Lagerfeld, the biggest icon in fashion industry for decades. Lagerfeld Confidential is a documentary capturing the man behind those dark glasses. Rodolphe Marconi has managed to capture Kaiser Karl's both professional and intimate lives through his lenses.



Karl was born in Hamburg, Germany in 1938. He moved to Paris at the age of 14 and developed himself as a visionary young fashion designer to the most celebrated designer of all time.

This is where Karl reveals his true character and displays the other side of him that has never been captured elsewhere. The documentary even takes you to one of his apartments, where you can see an array of ipods and strings of jewelries/accessories, magazines and books laying around - perhaps one of his sanctuaries for inspiration.

He also talked about his mother, his childhood, his passion for photography, personal relationships and his views in life. You can also catch some clips on behind-the-scenes from his catwalk shows and photo shoots.

Please note that this is an artistic documentary so don't expect any exciting scenes.
Therefore, this documentary is not suitable for those who are not into fashion. Otherwise, if you love Chanel, Fendi or Chloe, if you think French is sexy and you think Paris is romantic, this doco is definitely for you!

A must-watch for fashionistas out there :)
