The life of representatives of the LGBT community and bohemians is full of passions. Treason, betrayal, jealousy. All this was fully experienced by the legendary French designer Karl Lagerfeld. After the death of his beloved in 1989, Monsieur Lagerfeld vowed that he would remain faithful to Jacques de Bazer until his death, and his word has not yet broken.
Art director of the house Chanel is not too willing to share the details of his love story, but for the writer Mari Ottawa, he made an exception. Lagerfeld shared his memories of his beloved man, which will be included in the book "Jacques de Baiser: The Dandy in the Shadow."
Odd love
Despite the fact that Karl Lagerfeld was a Puritan (as he says about himself), he liked the bright and even reckless life that was led by the secular party-goer Jacques de Bacher. In the 70's he was known all bohemian Paris. He was a welcome guest at parties and dived headlong into more and more novels:
"I was a real humble person, but what Jacque arranged, his love affairs, amused me."
Who would have thought, but the famous fashion designer and his lover adhered to purely platonic relations! Lagerfeld told the following:
"I really loved this man. Our acquaintance lasted 18 years, of which 12 years we were a couple, but we did not have intimacy. I will not hide, I was attracted by its charm and physical charm. "
And then there was a real tragedy. Lagrfeld himself introduced his lover to a friend and colleague Yves Saint Laurent. Between men, a close relationship, having a sexual nature, began.
Often, Yves and Jacques arranged for themselves a spicy meeting in the spirit of BDSM. Of course, Karl knew about this and suffered:
"I and Yves were familiar by that time for two decades. But I wanted to see Jacques only on the good side. He could calmly share with me the details of his love affairs, but I never asked him about it. "Read also
