No official biography has ever been published, and the most eccentric figure in the world of fashion has always been discreet about his personal life.
This is a film in which Karl Lagerfeld draws his life: his childhood home, his father, his mother, his school, and Germany. He draws post-war Paris, where he arrived alone, to start a career in the very closed world of fashion. He draws all the fashion periods and trends he has experienced, and which he has marked with his creative genius.
