Directed by French young director Rudolf Marconi, the fashion documentary *Fashion Emperor* took ten years to conceptualize and two years to film closely. With its seemingly carefree narrative style and poetic visual style, it takes you into the unknown private life and inner world of "the Caesar of the fashion world," Karl Lagerfeld. This legendary god of fashion has, for the first time, agreed to such an intimate record of his life, presenting himself in all his complexity to the world. In the film, Lagerfeld shares his views on fashion, as well as his insights into literature, film, and painting. The director even captured the rarely seen inner monologue of this controversial master. Facing the camera, Lagerfeld candidly discusses his enigmatic sexual orientation and reveals his childhood experiences of being sexually abused by both men and women, allowing viewers to get up close and personal with this fashion emperor.
