Fashion on Film: Lagerfeld Confidential

Last night I headed to the Film Forum to check out the new Karl Lagerfeld documentary, Lagerfeld Confidential. And may I just say, Karl Lagerfeld is crazy hilarious! Or maybe just plain crazy. Here are some things that I learned:

- He has a mantle devoted to ipods
- He can’t sleep without holding this weird ratty pillow to his stomach
- He was sexually assaulted by a couple as a teenager (but thinks it’s kind of funny in retrospect)
- He has a table devoted to silver knuckle rings (see below)
- Despite saying that he is no longer interested in sex, he is constantly taking homoerotic photographs of this male model who accompanies him everywhere. (also, see below)
- He describes his childhood self as “the male Shirley Temple”
- There is a sign in the Chanel bathroom that says, “Pissing everywhere isn’t very Chanel”





And here's the trailer:


Lagerfeld Confidential is playing at the Film Forum through November 6th.
