Plot Synopsis

Groundbreaking feature film LAGERFELD CONFIDENTIAL is an intimate and human portrait of one of the most enigmatic and iconic figures in the international fashion industry – Karl Lagerfeld.

With unprecedented access to Lagerfeld’s private and professional worlds, director Rodolphe Marconi has captured the daily life of the flamboyant star to give incredible insight into the man behind the image.

From designing in private to presenting his collection in the glare of the catwalk, from a photo shoot with Nicole Kidman to relaxing with friends in his countryside residence, no aspect of Lagerfeld’s life is left hidden – as ‘the man behind the sunglasses’ is revealed.

The film reveals how far Lagerfeld controls his public image, and allows the audience to glimpse who lies beyond the media persona: An intellectual insomniac with a thirst for literature, films and paintings, a fan of Art Deco and contemporary art, a lover of aesthetics in the extreme as well as luxury, and a good man behind the acerbic tongue.
