Paradise Now

The fascinating biography of Chanel's legendary Creative Director that inspired a major Paramount Pictures documentary Karl Lagerfeld reinvented Chanel, revitalising and restoring it to its rightful place as one of the top fashion houses in the world, leading the brand for 35 years. He also served as the creative director for Fendi and launched his own brand, using his larger than life personality, unique vision and constant focus on the now to change fashion forever. But who was the man behind the myth? In this deliciously entertaining book, Middleton draws on his personal relationship with Lagerfeld to take us inside the most exclusive rooms in the fashion industry, behind the catwalk, and into a world of brilliantly talented artists, stylish socialites, and famous stars-some of the most elusive and unforgettable figures of fashion's inner circle for the past four decades.
