William Middleton, a former Paris bureau journalist of Women’s Wear Daily is on the starting block to write Karl Lagerfeld’ legend. He has signed a book deal with Harper Collins for a biography to be published in 2021. The late designer will certainly inspire several writers, but William Middleton wants to distinguish his book by focusing on the most exciting moments of his life. For those who can’t wait, there is already Alicia Drake’s Beautiful Fall, which addresses the rivalry between Karl Lagerfeld and Yves Saint Laurent.
