Publishing house Flammarion will release "Ça va, cher Karl?" by fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld's assistant, Sébastian Jondeau, later this month.

On January 27, 2021, the book &Ccedil;a va, cher Karl? (&quot;How are You, Dear Karl?&quot;)&nbsp;by S&eacute;bastian Jondeau, bodyguard and personal assistant to the <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/karl-lagerfeld-tribute-fendi-2019" target="_blank">legendary fashion designer</a> <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/remembering-karl-lagerfeld" target="_blank">Karl Lagerfeld</a> will be published by French literary house Flammarion. To&nbsp;write the 220-page book, Jondeau was assisted by <a href="https://www.instagram.com/virginiemouzat/?hl=en" target="_blank">Virginie Mouzat</a>, Le Figaro&#39;s fashion critic and contributor to Vanity Fair France.&nbsp;

&Ccedil;a va, cher Karl? is a memoir chronicling three decades of life between Jondeau and <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/karl-lagerfeld-is-expected-to-gain-major-exposure-at-met-in-2022" target="_blank">Lagerfeld</a>. The narrative of the book does not follow a chronological order, but rather&nbsp;Jondeau&#39;s flow of memories. He&nbsp;shares moments that are not always pleasant, such as the discovery of Lagerfeld&#39;s health problems, but encapsulates their relationship as a close bond, similar to one shared by a father and son.

The first contact between the two occurred when the young Jondeau, then 15 years old, was called to move furniture from the 18th century. Under Lagerfeld&#39;s employment, their&nbsp;partnership gave&nbsp;Jondeau the chance to model for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/karl-lagerfeld-will-take-chanel-to-his-hometown" target="_blank">Chanel</a> and pose in campaigns.

Lagerfeld <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion-week/at-chanel-fashion-is-saying-goodbye-to-karl-lagerfeld" target="_blank">died</a> in February 2019.&nbsp;Other books on the global fashion icon are in the process of being published, however, Jondeau&#39;s&nbsp;is set to be one of the most intimate accounts of the designer&#39;s life.
