Hippocampus Book Editions Karl Lagerfeld

Ippocampo Edizioni presents a collection of books on the most important international fashion houses. Design books and books to collect capable of furnishing any room in your home with style.

An ambivalent character, king of autofiction, Karl Lagerfeld was the first narrator of his long life, spent skilfully reinventing himself so as never to look back, towards a past that is difficult to contemplate. Inspired creator, gifted with immense culture, spendthrift to the brink of ruin, exaggerated in manners, hard worker, asexual and hygienist, king of digs and jokes, ultra-sensitive and arrogant, Karl Lagerfeld has had several lives. He 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 exactly his opposite and who also aroused the devouring passion of Yves Saint Laurent, helping to break the friendship between the two couturiers.

This biography tells the many existences of a man out of the ordinary and, through them, almost a century of fashion, which the designer has helped to revolutionize.
