I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was.

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.

I only know how to play one role: me.

Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I like girls to be wild but at the same time beautifully brought up and very funny.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I've only wanted paper and beautiful colors. It was my dream, and it still is my dream. And books. They're all I need, and the rest I can do without.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I like to do things quickly because I'm easily bored.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
As a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything - not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.

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.
