More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people... the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life... they are mean and they want to kill you.
Karl Lagerfeld
The flat shoe makes the woman equal of men. When they have high [shoes], they play a part like a geisha, and they can't be expected to be taken that seriously.
Karl Lagerfeld
One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress.
Karl Lagerfeld
During the golden age of movie stars, there were plenty of actresses who were deemed unattractive at the start of their careers, but struggled and finally appeared more beautiful and more iconic. Sometimes that idea of being truly iconic has something to do with not necessarily being beautiful and thus trying harder.
Karl Lagerfeld
I don’t do meetings. At Chanel, there are no meetings. At Chanel, we do what we want, whenever we want and it works. And Fendi is the same.
Karl Lagerfeld
I love dogs, but dogs, you have to be in the country with dogs. I cannot walk a dog on the street.
Karl Lagerfeld
At my age, I don’t need to be a sexy bundle of muscles, thank you very much.
Karl Lagerfeld
I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work.
Karl Lagerfeld
Children are the last thing I want. I hate all children. For other people, it's fine, but not for me. I was born not to be a family person.
Karl Lagerfeld
You were never told that Saint-Tropez is paradise?
Karl Lagerfeld
Youthfulness is about how you live not when you were born.
Karl Lagerfeld
Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.
Karl Lagerfeld
I am a completely different person when I am working on different collections.
Karl Lagerfeld
Books are a hard-bound drug with no danger of an overdose. I am the happy victim of books.
Karl Lagerfeld
In France there are, I think, less than one per cent of people who are too skinny.
Karl Lagerfeld
I am not a second option person. It is that or nothing. If it is not the way I see it I prefer not to see it.
Karl Lagerfeld
No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important.
Karl Lagerfeld
I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.
Karl Lagerfeld
There will be gay couples it will exist. It is not very nice that people who are married - who divorce in three seconds - don’t want protection for the others. The legal system should protect everyone, not just the few people who think they are above everybody else because they are married.
Karl Lagerfeld
Dress for yourself and the man you love (if there is one). Women dressing to impress other women--forget about that. Forget about that. It's a very bad way of thinking.
