Total control of the line.

357
00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:37,680
Come on, tell me you're happy.

358
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:40,640
I'm content.

359
00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,560
No, with more panache, man.

360
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:44,040
"I like it!"

361
00:27:44,680 --> 00:27:47,080
[chuckles softly] I like it.

362
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:50,200
[Bidermann] And voila, let's announce
the house of Karl Lagerfeld.

363
00:27:51,400 --> 00:27:54,240
[Karl] This is just a rough draft.
We can discuss more.

364
00:27:54,320 --> 00:27:57,880
Where I come from, we like pure white.
Clean, simple, neat.

365
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:01,480
And because of the oil crisis
and all the anxieties with it,

366
00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:03,520
I think people need a return to that.

367
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,760
The appeal of rigor, white, black, brown,
those are timeless.

368
00:28:06,840 --> 00:28:10,400
Lagerfeld is now where you must go
if you love purity.

369
00:28:10,480 --> 00:28:12,280
But modern, obviously.

370
00:28:12,360 --> 00:28:15,080
Anyways, that's a first thought.
It needs refining.

371
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,720
Great. Let's talk strategy.

372
00:28:17,800 --> 00:28:20,200
No, I would like to hear
what your thoughts are on the style.

373
00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:23,160
Are you kidding me, Karl?
Have you seen the way I dress? Huh?

374
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,200
I'm the guy that hires you
so you can tell me exactly what's stylish.

375
00:28:26,280 --> 00:28:28,800
Who cares what I like?
Is it beautiful to you?

376
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:31,840
Yes. Great. That's that.

377
00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:34,680
I'm not trying to find
the next Saint Laurent. Okay?

378
00:28:34,760 --> 00:28:37,440
I'm a designer that has
what it takes to create art.

379
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,280
And frankly, it bores me.

380
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,240
You, on the other hand, are a businessman.

381
00:28:41,320 --> 00:28:43,120
We can talk business with you.

382
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,200
And as you said before,
we're in a global oil crisis.

383
00:28:46,840 --> 00:28:48,200
Who's our customer?

384
00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:51,040
An American.

385
00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:52,560
[enunciating] An American.

386
00:28:53,640 --> 00:28:56,040
So, we'll start out nice and easy
with some sportswear.

387
00:28:56,120 --> 00:28:57,200
[chuckles softly]

388
00:28:57,280 --> 00:28:59,800
-With sportswear?
-Sportswear, yeah, exactly.

389
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:02,280
Yeah, it's cheap to produce
and we can mark it up a ton

390
00:29:02,360 --> 00:29:03,760
because it's made in Paris.

391
00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:06,160
So we'll make a nice profit
and grow from there.

392
00:29:06,240 --> 00:29:08,000
They'll get out of the crisis
faster than we will,

393
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:10,360
and what's more, it's a paradise for...

394
00:29:10,440 --> 00:29:11,640
How about it?

395
00:29:13,800 --> 00:29:15,760
I'll draw up a contract tomorrow.

396
00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:28,480

of affairs with the foreign superpower.

400
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,280

00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,800

Mm. Are you in a bad mood?

404

Not now, mutti.

405
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:53,000
[scoffs] You could knock the doors down.

406
00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,000
Has Jacques called?

407
00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,880
[exhales] I did not agree
to be your switchboard.

408
00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:03,520
Are you making progress with your brand?

409
00:30:05,320 --> 00:30:06,920
I'm giving it everything I can.

410
00:30:08,280 --> 00:30:09,840
But nothing changes.

411
00:30:10,280 --> 00:30:12,360
Perhaps it's not enough.

And what do you think of that?

421
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,160
Four times Saint Laurent on a canvas, eh?

422
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,160
Still less hassle than the original.

423
00:31:44,200 --> 00:31:46,360
-How are you, my friend?
-You know, uh,

424
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:49,520
whenever I come
to one of these Parisian soirées,

425
00:31:50,320 --> 00:31:52,720
I feel like I'm crashing their party.

426
00:31:53,720 --> 00:31:56,040
Even when it's in my honor.

427
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:00,680
Uh, maybe, uh,
people have a problem with my wig?

428
00:32:00,760 --> 00:32:04,240
It's not your wig. It's Paris.
It's a constant lesson in humility.

429
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:07,000
Is that why the French invented champagne?

430

-To be able to stand this?
-Beautiful painting.

431
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:11,440
Congratulations, Mr. Warhol.

I hear he's fun.

00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,520
Oh, there you are!

-Bonsoir, Yves.

442

[Anna] Bonsoir, Yves.

443
00:33:13,840 --> 00:33:15,840
You know, I could use a glass of water.

444
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:18,880
Ooh. Ooh, well...

445
00:33:18,960 --> 00:33:20,600
You know, I left Pierre.

446
00:33:20,680 --> 00:33:23,000
-Okay.
-I left Pierre for you.

447
00:33:23,080 --> 00:33:24,360
Mm.

00:33:26,800 --> 00:33:28,200
We're moving to Marrakesh.

449
00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,080
No, Yves, we're really not. Okay?

450
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,200
You've been drinking a lot.
So you should drink water.

451
00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:33,840
Now. You're drunk.

452
00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:35,400
Uh... No more.

00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:06,160
All right. What did you decide?

What do you think about parfum?

483
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:12,400
[Gaby] What? Are you staying or going?

484
00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:14,800
Would you perhaps be
interested in a fragrance?

485
00:36:16,560 --> 00:36:18,120
We're in the midst of a crisis.

486
00:36:18,200 --> 00:36:20,760
We have no way to know
how long sales will be down.

487
00:36:21,320 --> 00:36:23,560
And Paris is an ecosystem
that is contained.

488
00:36:23,640 --> 00:36:26,520
Whereas the outside world
is vast and changing quickly.

489
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:31,040
Fragrances are something you can buy
when you can't afford luxuries,

490
00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:33,160
and it sells, even during crises.

491
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:35,560
We're going into the United States.

492
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:39,000
They don't really care
about existing Parisian hierarchy,

493
00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:40,640
so if it works, it works.

494
00:36:40,720 --> 00:36:42,640
We test the waters with parfum and wait.

495
00:36:42,720 --> 00:36:44,640
Then move on to clothes, try to grow.

496
00:36:44,720 --> 00:36:46,520
We make garments, not parfum.

497
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,240
It's cheap to produce,
so profit margins are good.

498
00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,160
So are you leaving or what?

499
00:36:52,800 --> 00:36:54,000

500
00:36:54,480 --> 00:36:57,240
Okay. We create an independent company
just for the parfum.

501
00:36:57,320 --> 00:36:59,400
I would take care of the juice,
the bottle, the promotion,

502
00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:01,000
and I'd get 50% of the profits.

503
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:03,360
And you... You would get the other half

504

an exclusivity agreement with us,

508

00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:06,160
What do you know?

533
00:39:06,800 --> 00:39:07,800
[inhales]

534
00:39:07,880 --> 00:39:09,480
[knocking at door]

535
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:11,000
[Yves] Jacques, open up!

536
00:39:14,840 --> 00:39:15,920
I saw him.

537
00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:19,520
Get out!

538
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:20,680
What are you doing here?

539
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,680
He was upset I broke up with him.

540
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:26,240
I had my fun with you,
now you need to get out. Go!

541
00:39:27,400 --> 00:39:29,720
It was... violent.

542
00:39:30,440 --> 00:39:32,160
I told you this was over, okay?

543
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:34,360
It was like he couldn't hear
anything I was saying at all.

544
00:39:34,480 --> 00:39:36,040
-He was completely crazy.
-Come on, Jacques.

545
00:39:36,120 --> 00:39:38,120
Obviously, he's unwell.
He's clinically insane.

546
00:39:38,200 --> 00:39:39,360
You little whore!

547
00:39:40,040 --> 00:39:41,040
Where are you going?

548
00:39:41,520 --> 00:39:43,880
He's quite sick
and he's hurt himself before.

549
00:39:43,960 --> 00:39:45,760
-[Yves] You do what you want!
-[both straining]

550
00:39:48,320 --> 00:39:49,840
[Jacques] Huh? Huh?

551
00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:53,960
Shh, shh. Hey, hey, hey. Hey!

552
00:39:57,160 --> 00:39:58,640
What have you done?

553
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,280
Jacques. What did you do?

554
00:40:32,160 --> 00:40:34,160
