Disney+ has debuted the first trailer and a poster for the upcoming limited drama series Becoming Karl Lagerfeld.
Based on the biography Kaiser Karl by Raphaëlle Bacqué, the series stars Daniel Brühl as the iconic fashion designer and tells the story of his rise in the 1970s Parisian fashion world. Watch the trailer below…
In 1972, Karl Lagerfeld (Daniel Brühl) is 38 and not yet wearing his iconic hairstyle. He is a ready-to-wear designer, unknown to the general public. While he meets and falls in love with the sultry Jacques de Bascher (Théodore Pellerin), an ambitious and troubling young dandy, the most mysterious of fashion designers dares to take on his friend (and rival) Yves Saint Laurent (Arnaud Valois), a genius of haute couture backed by the redoubtable businessman Pierre Bergé (Alex Lutz).
“Becoming Karl Lagerfeld” plunges us into the heart of the 70s, in Paris, Monaco and Rome, to follow the formidable blossoming of this complex and iconic personality of Parisian couture, already driven by the ambition to become the Emperor of fashion.
Between glamour and clashes of egos, grandiose parties and destructive passions, discover the story of Karl before Lagerfeld.
The series stars Daniel Brühl as Karl Lagerfeld, Théodore Pellerin as Jacques de Bascher, Arnaud Valois as Yves Saint Laurent, Alex Lutz as Pierre Bergé, and Agnès Jaoui as Gabrielle Aghion.
Becoming Karl Lagerfeld premieres on Disney+ on June 7th.
