KAISER KARL

On the final morning, Karl Lagerfeld died accompanied only by Sébastien, his bodyguard and confidant. The funeral ceremony was attended by Bernard Arnault and the Wertheimer brothers, Caroline de Monaco and Inès de la Fressange, the first Chanel couture designers and young models. The emperor of fashion had demanded that he vanish into ashes, with his recognizable "panoply" - dark glasses and catogan - serving as a bulwark against his secrets.
Only now are the witnesses speaking out. And then her father's past, the turmoil caused by his one true love, Jacques de Bascher, his rivalry with Saint Laurent, his links with the great luxury industrialists and the immensity of his fortune all come to light.
