The exhibition C’était bien explores the intimate and previously unseen correspondence between Karl Lagerfeld and Armelle de Bascher, mother of his partner Jacques, who passed away in 1989. Hosted at Spazio Opis in Rome, the exhibition traces over 25 years of letters, faxes, and personal materials that reveal the designer’s most private side, shaped by grief, memory, and daily life.

An immersive journey combining original documents, drawings, and installations, offering a moving and deeply human perspective on one of the most iconic figures in contemporary fashion.
