Becoming Karl Lagerfeld charts the designer's rise to fame in the 1970s, preceding Largerfeld becoming one of the most iconic names in high-end fashion and joining Chanel in 1982. The show covers his time at Chloé and Fendi, when he was still looking to make his mark on the scene, over a decade before his creation of the classic "CC" logo and Chanel's revamped ready-to-wear collections.

Becoming Karl Lagerfeld focuses on 38-year-old Lagerfeld (Brühl) when he first meets Jacques de Bascher, portrayed by Théodore Pellerin, a man Lagerfeld denied having an intimate relationship with, though their 18 years together is often reported.

Meeting the dandy unlocks a fierce competitor in Lagerfeld, who decides to go up against his friend and haute couture phenomenon Yves Saint Laurent and YSL's co-founder, Pierre Bergé. Set at a turning point in Lagerfeld's career, Becoming Karl Lagerfeld promises to be a glamorous, extravagant and passionate picture of the "fashion Kaiser".

Also starring Arnaud Valois as Yves Saint Laurent and Alex Lutz as Bergé, read on for details of how to watch Becoming Karl Lagerfeld online where you are, including an option to subscribe to the Disney Plus bundle, the best deal for US viewers.
