Sebastien Jondeau | Karl Lagerfeld’s Bodyguard

Sebastien Jondeau is not only known as the longtime bodyguard of the late Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld. He also gets credit for being handsome, not to mention one of the fashion designer’s closest confidantes. In fact, he even wrote the book, Ça va, cher Karl? or What Is It, Dear Karl in English, a tell-all memoir that chronicles his close friendship with Lagerfeld.

Mind you, these two had worked together for more than 20 years, so probably a good friendship had blossomed between them. Jondeau first met Lagerfeld when he was 15. After that, he often became a part of his numerous Chanel runways. He also starred in Karl Lagerfeld Men’s campaigns. With their close bond, he eventually became like a son to the famous artist. He now has his place in the fashion world as a contributor to Fendi, where Lagerfeld used to design ready-to-wear clothing.
