More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
Tell me, why do former young designers who are now in their middle 40s have to redo the 1960s and 70s. Why they cannot invent fashion for today?
Karl Lagerfeld
I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.
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
When I was a child, I never played with other children. I hated them.
Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld
I prefer to be in a video than to play with it.
Karl Lagerfeld
I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.

Karl Lagerfeld
Don't use expensive clothes as a screen for your personal doubts. Be proud of yourself
Karl Lagerfeld

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
No one wants to see curvy women.
Karl Lagerfeld
In fact, I don't even know myself. That is the big secret of the story. That there is no story.
Karl Lagerfeld
Youthfulness is about how you live not when you were born.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
I only wear the latest thing. It's my job.
Karl Lagerfeld
Oh yes, I love to do shoes. I'm not a fetishist but I love to do shoes.
