Mapping the rise of the designer, Becoming Karl Lagerfeld is set in the 1970s before Lagerfeld joined Chanel in 1982 and became one of the best-known names in high-end fashion. Although he is the mastermind behind Chanel’s interlocking ‘CC’ monogram and revamped ready-to-wear collections, the events of the show precede this, with him delving into his time at Chloé and Fendi when he was relatively nobody in the industry used to be.
Becoming Karl Lagerfeld will focus on 38-year-old Lagerfeld (Brühl) when he first meets Jacques de Bascher, played by Théodore Pellerin, a man Lagerfeld denied having an intimate relationship with, although their 18 years together are often reported.
Meeting the dandy frees up a fierce competitor in Lagerfeld, who decides to take on his friend and haute couture phenomenon Yves Saint Laurent and YSL’s co-founder, Pierre Bergé. It takes place at a turning point in Lagerfeld’s career. Becoming Karl Lagerfeld promises to be a glamorous, extravagant and passionate image of the “fashion Kaiser”.
