Lagerfeld - Ein Abend mit Simon Schwartz & Alfons Kaiser

Join us for an evening dedicated to the legendary Karl Lagerfeld, who transformed the fashion industry and became a living icon. This event features Alfons Kaiser, a FAZ editor and personal acquaintance of Lagerfeld, who will provide insights from his biography published in 2020 by C.H.Beck. Acclaimed comic artist Simon Schwartz will visually bring to life the story of Lagerfeld, depicting his evolution from a precocious child who preferred drawing over play to a sharp-witted rival of Yves Saint Laurent, ultimately overshadowing him in the fashion world. We will explore Lagerfeld's disciplined genius, his complex relationships, and his enduring legacy, including his partnership with Jacques de Bascher, the love of his life.
