‘Becoming Karl Lagerfeld’ Creator Details Why She Didn’t Want To Make A Biopic & Addresses The Fashion Icon’s Fatphobia Accusations – MIPTV
Isaure Pisani-Ferry talked about how 'Becoming Karl Lagerfeld' could never be a biopic and addressed the icon's fatphobia accusations.
The creator of Disney+ ‘s Becoming Karl Lagerfeld has explained the thinking behind the team’s decision to eschew a biopic when telling the story of a crucial stage in the fashion icon’s life. Gaumont ‘s Daniel Brühl-starring six-parter, which premiered out of competition at Canneseries last night, focuses on Lagerfeld’s entry into the fashion world in the early 1970s and his relationship with rivals like Yves Saint-Laurent. Pisani-Ferry added that Lagerfeld – who died five years ago – is “at a turning point” during the series, surrounded by characters full of “love, hate and ambition, which allows us to talk about the fear of vulnerability and need for recognition.”
