On June 7, the biographical series about Karl Lagerfeld, the kaiser of fashion, will premiere. Becoming Karl, created and produced by Isaure Pisani-Ferry, can be seen on Disney + and will have six episodes. All of them are based on Kaiser Karl, the biography written by Raphaëlle Bacqué. The first trailer is now available.

The miniseries covers the entire career of the German designer since 1972, when Karl had yet to make himself known. It tells the story of his beginnings as a ready-to-wear designer, his rivalry with the French designer Yves Saint Laurent, and how he made his way to become creative director of Chanel until 2019.

The episodes also reflect the changes in Lagerfeld’s life, thus molding his attitude and personality as the years went by. The main settings take place in Paris, Monaco, and Rome.

Karl is played by Daniel Brühl, a Spanish actor who has appeared in films such as Inglourious Basterds and Captain America: Civil War. The cast is completed by Jeanne Damas, who plays the daughter of Pablo Picasso (Paloma Picasso), Claire Laffut, Sunnyi Melles, and Paul Spera, who is Andy Warhol in the series. Lagerfeld was very involved with art and made a cameo in one of Warhol’s art films.
