Beauty with character ages better than perfection.

You were never told that Saint-Tropez is paradise?
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
If there's something dangerous, sauces are dangerous for the body.
Karl Lagerfeld

T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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
Image
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.

Image
I am like a caricature of myself, and I like that. It is like a mask. And for me the Carnival of Venice lasts all year long.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I rather want my things to be copied than me copying. I would feel ashamed!
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.

Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
What I've done, Coco Chanel would never have done. She would have hated it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
But if I have a lot of imagination, I could tell myself whatever I wanted, you know. I handle myself quite well. I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know. There's no discussion. There is an order. You follow it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Fashion is about two things: the evolution and the opposite.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I don't want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
They're my burka... I'm a little shortsighted, and people, when they're shortsighted, they remove their glasses and then they look like cute little dogs who want to be adopted.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
For me, Chanel is like music. There are certain notes and you have to make another tune with them.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Those social networks, there's something sad about them. Is it because they don't have enough knowledge about friends and people? I don't understand it. It's like a talkative mirror where people talk to themselves. And what I hate most in life is selfies.

The elegance is as physical, as moral quality that has nothing common with the clothing. You can see a countrywoman more elegant than one so called elegant woman.

If you attach no importance to weight problems, if not being able to wear new, trendy small-sized clothes does not cause you any regret, this book is not for you.
