Set in France in the 1970s, the Disney+ Original series, produced by Gaumont, shows the life and loves of the so-called ‘Emperor of Fashion’ Karl Lagerfield. Starring Daniel Brühl as the German icon and based on the book Kaiser Karl by Raphaëlle Bacqué, it focuses on his journey from an unknown ready-to-wear designer to an icon of Parisian couture and digs into Karl Lagerfeld’s real-life rivalry with his friend Yves Saint Laurent and his love for the troubling young dandy Jacques de Bascher.
