Leto will co-produce the film alongside Lagerfeld’s House of Karl Lagerfeld. Leto and Emma Ludbrook’s production company, Paradox, will also be involved. Caroline Lebar has been Lagerfeld’s advisor on both his brand and his personal communications for more than 35 years. “Karl has always been an inspiration to me,” says Leto. “He was a true polymath, an artist, an innovator, a leader, and most importantly, a kind man.” Lagerfeld died in February 2019; he will be honored by Anna Wintour (Chief Content Officer & Global Editorial Director of Vogue) and The Metropolitan Museum of Art during its 2023 gala with the theme, Karl Lagerfeld: A Line of Beauty.
