Giabiconi was one of two models who became part of Lagerfeld’s extended family of friends and colleagues. The other, American Brad Kroenig, is also featured in the documentary and talks for the first time about the big impact Lagerfeld had on his life and on his family, including his two sons, who are the fashion designer’s godsons.
Princess Caroline of Monaco, another friend, is also believed to be a beneficiary of the will, said Waldman: “She is expected to receive a number of knick-knacks and personal items.” The saddest notes are sounded when the feature-length documentary turns to the lost love between Lagerfeld and Jacques de Bascher, who died at 38 of complications from Aids in 1989. The couple had a tempestuous relationship, not least because de Bascher was also involved with Lagerfeld’s great fashion rival, Yves Saint Laurent. Lagerfeld fell out with other friends for much less than this sort of romantic betrayal. “There was great loyalty towards him from friends,” said Waldman.
