An ambivalent character, the king of autofiction, Karl Lagerfeld was the first narrator of his own long life, spent skillfully reinventing himself so as never to look back, toward a past that was difficult to contemplate. An inspired creator, gifted with immense culture, a spendthrift to the point of ruin, exaggerated in his ways, a hard worker, asexual and hygienist, king of barbs and jokes, ultra-sensitive and arrogant, Karl Lagerfeld has had several lives. He has gained weight, lost weight, rejuvenated, drowning his melancholy in work after the death of his only love, Jacques de Bascher, an unscrupulous dandy who was his exact opposite and who also aroused the devouring passion of Yves Saint Laurent, contributing to the breakup of the friendship between the two couturiers.

This biography recounts the many lives of an extraordinary man and, through them, almost a century of fashion, which the designer helped to revolutionize. Dimensions 15.5 x 24 cm
