The mini biopic focuses on the designer's career and the relationship between fashion and religion - drawing comparisons between fashion magazines and the bible, and likening models to angels. The film was directed by television journalist Martina Neuen.
"It's a bit tongue-in-cheek," Neuen told WWD. "It cannot offer you redemption or anything eternal."
Lagerfeld allowed the journalist access to his shows and studio over a period of 16 months - and shared details of his personal life and career. The documentary, entitled Mode Als Religion (Fashion as a Religion), also features interviews with Diane Kruger, Sarah Jessica Parker, Claudia Schiffer, Linda Evangelista, Suzy Menkes and Milla Jovovich - to name but a few.

"He is the most impressive person I've ever met," added Neuen. "He is a true individual, and there's a lightness of being around him."
The documentary will have a preview screening in September in Munich, which Lagerfeld is expected to attend, to coincide with the launch of his boutique in the German city.
