520 |a Karl Lagerfield, the creative director for the storied House of Chanel for thirty-five years, not only reinvented Chanel, but was reknown for his vivid personal style. Middleton spent years working in Paris, and often had interviews and socializations with Lagerfield. Here he takes use behind the catwalk and inside the most exclusive rooms in the fashion industry to see a side that Lagerfield kept private from the world. -- Adapted from jacket.
