Summary
Daniel Bruhl takes the title role in a lavish six-part drama charting the fortunes of the influential German fashion designer at the start of his career in Paris. The year is 1972 and 38-year-old Karl is largely unknown to the public, designing ready-to-wear fashion in the shadow of haute couture trailblazer Yves Saint Laurent (Arnaud Valois) and his formidable associate Pierre Berge (Alex Lutz). Seductive dandy Jacques de Bascher (Theodore Pellerin) gatecrashes Karl's world and encourages the designer to unapologetically flaunt his creativity. Destructive passions kindle a spark and Lagerfeld challenges the status quo by attempting to usurp Laurent as the darling of the fashion world in the French capital
