I'm like a rock singer with one-night stands on the road.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I see things in the middle of the night. I draw them on paper and I don't even think about it. I'm like a machine in a way - just made of some electronic stuff. Vaguely digital.

People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.

Karl Lagerfeld
Image
It’s great that in life you do something that you want to do because you like doing it and you’re not bored. I’m not bored at all. I’m even interested in lots of things, more so today than before.

Image
Fashion is neither moral or immoral, but it is for rebuilding the morale.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I buy my shoes a size too small. I like the way it feels.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
It would have been difficult to have an ugly daughter.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
When I was very young, at the beginning my business was to work more than the others to show them their pointlessness.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Be politically correct, but please don't bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that's the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.

You come first, the clothes later. Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Be creative.
