More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
Life should be larger than life. Size is important to escape normalization.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm not a social person. Not that I'm not at ease. I'm pretty good, but it bores me. Not the people, but the whole thing. What for? It's not very productive. I only want to do what I have to do: fashion, photography, books. And that's all.
Karl Lagerfeld
There's something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living...
Karl Lagerfeld
It would have been difficult to have an ugly daughter.
Karl Lagerfeld
My life is based on change. What I say is OK for the next ten minutes, then I change my mind.

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
Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.
Karl Lagerfeld
I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it's a very healthy discipline.
Karl Lagerfeld
If you stick to something doggedly, you are off to a bad start.
Karl Lagerfeld
Fashion is what people wear not only what you see on the Runway
Karl Lagerfeld
The advantage of Fashion is that there is no racism
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.
Karl Lagerfeld
A collection is not just one basic idea. It comes from something that is in the air, something you suddenly like and put down on paper and then work out.
Karl Lagerfeld
You know, I don't ask myself too much how. I just do it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Beauty with character ages better than perfection.
Karl Lagerfeld
I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.
Karl Lagerfeld
Clothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It's a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.
Karl Lagerfeld
