Lagerfeld Confidential

I just saw the documentary about Karl Lagerfeld and what an insight into a small chapter of this legendary designer and photographer's life. The documentary saw me bewildered by the amount of books, ipods, rings and clothes, his devotion for Dior Homme, his weight loss, his designs in Chanel and Fendi and his photography skills. This documentary is short but very precise in capturing what we all wanna know about Karl Lagerfeld.
Lagerfeld Confidential gives me a little insight into a life of a very intelligent yet mysterious Lagerfeld. He seems very down to earth and yet very articulate in many ways. If you have the chance to watch this documentary please do, is worth watching for all the fashionistas out there!

“Fashion is ephemeral, dangerous and unfair.” – Karl Lagerfeld

“I don’t want to be a reality in people’s lives. I want to be like an apparition.” – Karl Lagerfeld
Karl Lagerfeld, the man who transformed the House of Chanel from an elegant, but stuffy couture has-been into a super sexy 21st century fashion powerhouse. Lagerfeld’s look is iconographic: snow-white ponytail, huge sunglasses and pinstriped suits with Edwardian collars, heavily accessorized with chains and enough silver rings to do some serious damage with just a handshake. The film profiles Lagerfeld the designer (his brands have included Karl Lagerfeld, Fendi and ChloĆ©), photographer, bibliophile, weight-loss expert, marketing genius and star. It captures a world of serious diamond-encrusted glamour in which beauty and imagination air-kiss money and power, with a ruthless commitment to being in the moment. -www.filmforum.org/films/lagerfeld.html
