Trăiește paradisul acum. Extraordinara viata a lui Karl Lagerfeld

William Middleton writes about Karl Lagerfeld’s work and life. He looks at both his public and private sides. Lagerfeld led Chanel’s creative work for 35 years. He died in February 2019. He reshaped the house and sparked fresh interest in Chloé and Fendi. He also built a fashion brand under his own name. Dark glasses and a white ponytail dusted with powder marked his look. The book also shows his love for his cat, Choupette.

This life story is for readers drawn to fashion and its people. It looks past the runway at closed groups in fashion. It spans four decades of artists, high society and stars.

Middleton draws on his own time with Lagerfeld. He spent years in Paris, where he wrote for three titles. These were Women’s Wear Daily, W and Harper’s Bazaar. He spoke with Lagerfeld for his work and in social life. These meetings let him see a more private side of Lagerfeld.
