The Spanish-German actor Daniel Bruhl has been in charge of giving life to Karl Lagerfeld in the recent miniseries of Disney+ about the designer’s beginnings. Turtlenecks and sunglasses hit the platform streaming with the six episodes of Becoming Karl Lagerfeld next Friday, June 7. The story takes us to the early 70s, when Lagerfeld arrived in Paris to change the world of fashion forever. It is also about the audiovisual adaptation of Kaiser Karlthe biography written by Raphaëlle Bacqué and which delves into the person behind the great fashion figure of the 20th century.
After the death of the designer in 2019, we would all love to be able to learn more about who that mysterious person was behind sunglasses and his always polished bun. The world of fashion paid its particular tribute to him with the 2023 MET Gala, but now the time has come to really get to know the Kaiser of fashion who resurrected Chanel, but was also a teenager who went to Paris to fulfill a dream.
In the difficult situation of stepping into the shoes of the great icon that was Lagerfeld is Daniel Brühl. The Spanish and German actor becomes a designer due to the demands of the script, which is why low buns and high collars have been his uniform for months. On the verge of the miniseries reaching Disney+ in its entirety, the actor is traveling the world from red carpet to red carpet to demonstrate at the premieres that his impeccable style has not only remained behind the screen, but as an ambassador of the brand. Zegna has translated it into real life.
One of the last stops on Daniel Brühl’s tour during the promotion of Becoming Karl Lagerfeld has been none other than the Italian capital of fashion. The actor has landed in Milan for the premiere of the series and, since only the Kaiser was capable of wearing high collars with ease, Brühl has opted for an equally stylish look, but simpler for everyday life. And although at night he dazzled with a total look black that would make those who know the most about fashion tremble, in the afternoon he gave us a clue as to what it is the perfect jacket for those summer nights in which the heat gives us a little respite.
