Do yourself a favour. Find this DVD somewhere. Lagerfeld Confidental. Its an intimate documentary on fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld. I watched it the other night and it was mesmorising. Highly recommended. Somehow, after watching the documentary you will finally 'get' Lagerfeld (note: Lagerfeld did not edit the final film. at all. say no to censorship).
Lagerfeld Confidental Quotes:
