More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
If you throw money out of the window throw it out with joy. Don’t say: 'one shouldn't do that' - that is bourgeois.
Karl Lagerfeld
There will never be a chanel collection without black
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
Fortunately there is more wealth in the world than there was at the time of the global economic crisis of 1929 - Chinese, Indian, Arab and Russian.
Karl Lagerfeld
If you stick to something doggedly, you are off to a bad start.
Karl Lagerfeld
I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it's a very healthy discipline.
Karl Lagerfeld
Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm not a marketing person. I don't ask myself questions. I go by instinct.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
No, I never thought I would like cats.

I’m like a rock singer with one-night stands on the road. I’m here for two days in New York I leave in the morning early. I come back for Anna Wintour’s party at the Met, then again at the end of May for a prize I get from the Gordon Parks Foundation.
Karl Lagerfeld
I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.
Karl Lagerfeld
T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.
Karl Lagerfeld
A book has to be easy to open and you don't have to be a bodybuilder to lift it. I like books I can read in bed. Those big tombstones would kill me.
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
I have one instinct stronger than any other thing in life, and that is the instinct for survival.
Karl Lagerfeld
I am a black diamond, unfaceted. Black diamonds are rare, hard to cut, and therefore uncommercial.
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
Forget about your folklore. I can take a few inspirations, but I can certainly not do an homage. That's not my trip. I'm a fashion vampire. I take what I need and I leave the rest.

I'm like a rock singer with one-night stands on the road.
