Karl Lagerfeld ran Chanel for 35 years, reinventing it from a brand nearing bankruptcy with only one boutique back to one of the top fashion houses in the world.
But who was the man behind the myth?
In this deliciously entertaining book, the author draws on his personal relationship with Lagerfeld to take us inside the most exclusive rooms in the fashion industry, behind the catwalk, and into a world of brilliantly talented artists, stylish socialites, and famous stars-some of the most elusive and unforgettable figures of fashion's inner circle for the past four decades.
Journalist and author William Middleton spent years working in Paris for Women's Wear Daily, W, and Harper's Bazaar, interviewing and socialising with Lagerfeld many times over the years, getting to intimately know not only his work and his professional journey, but also what the elusive designer kept private from the world.
