It is based on the biography of the same name by Rapha\u00eblle Bacqu\u00e9, who is attached to the series alongside writers Isaure Pisani-Ferry (<em>Vampires<\/em>, <em>Ganglands<\/em>) and Jennifer Have (<em>Unfaithful<\/em>, <em>The Red Band Society<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>The story begins during the summer of 1972 and traces Lagerfeld\u2019s quest to become the successor of Coco Chanel, who died the year prior, and the most successful French couturier at a time when Yves Saint Laurent was the biggest fashion personality. The rivalry between Lagerfeld and Pierre Berg\u00e9 (Yves Saint Laurent\u2019s partner) as well as Lagerfeld\u2019s love story with Jacques de Bascher will be central to the series.<\/p>\n<p>Jan Koeppen, president of The Walt Disney Company EMEA, said: &#8220;Disney+ has given us the opportunity to tell uniquely European stories to global audiences. We have an incredibly diverse and exciting European slate, and <em>Kaiser Karl<\/em> is indicative of the kind of stories we want to be telling. We also felt Lagerfeld\u2019s story hasn\u2019t really been given its due until now and can\u2019t wait to share it with our Disney+ audience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pauline Dauvin, VP of programming and original productions at The Walt Disney Company, France, added: \u201cWe were immediately seduced by the idea of an adaptation of Bacqu\u00e9\u2019s biography, which will mark the first collaboration between Disney and Gaumont on a French original show. The series shows a unique moment of transformation in the fashion industry in France in the &#8217;70s, embodied by an icon with multiple metamorphoses, Karl Lagerfeld.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Christophe Riand\u00e9e, vice CEO of Gaumont, said: \u201c<em>Kaiser Karl<\/em> is an icon of the century and since the beginning, Disney has been very supportive by sharing our creative vision for the show. We are thrilled to get started.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Walt Disney Company EMEA has commissioned a scripted series about the life of fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld as a Star original for Disney+.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":15490,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[70],"tags":[2798],"class_list":["post-15489","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-disney","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
