Out this week: Karl Lagerfeld (Abrams, $25.99): Writer Alfons Kaiser, an FAZ editor who knew Lagerfeld personally, and artist Simon Schwartz team for this graphic novel biography of one of fashion’s most singular figures. From a precocious outsider in northern Germany to an urbane genius in Paris, Kaiser draws on previously unknown sources to paint a portrait of Lagerfeld as designer, illustrator, photographer, book collector, and a human being behind the larger-than-life persona.
