Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I've survived quite a few generations. That's because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
What is the worst is a fashion designer who talks all the time of his or her creativity, what they are, how they evolved. Just do it and shut up.

I love classic beauty. It’s an idea of beauty with no standard.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.
