More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Children are the last thing I want. I hate all children. For other people, it's fine, but not for me. I was born not to be a family person.
Karl Lagerfeld
Evolution is the secret for the next step.
Karl Lagerfeld
I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.
Karl Lagerfeld
I don't want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven't done. There's no again. There's only the future. I hate the past - especially my own past.
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
To reinvent a newly impeccable you in the most modern of outfits, don't skip on makeup and be sure to have flawless skin and hair. That will have more impact than expensive clothes.
Karl Lagerfeld
My childhood was endless - from eight to 18 felt like hundreds of years.
Karl Lagerfeld
I don't know Heidi Klum. She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn't know who she is.
Karl Lagerfeld
When I was a child, I never played with other children. I hated them.
Karl Lagerfeld
What I do Coco would have hated. The label has an image and it's up to me to update it. I do what she never did. I had to find my mark. I had to go from what Chanel was to what it should be, could be, what it had been to something else.
Karl Lagerfeld
You cannot fight against it. There's a price you have to pay for fame, and people who don't want to pay that price can get in trouble. I accepted the idea of celebrity because of a French expression: 'You cannot have the butter and the money for the butter.'
Karl Lagerfeld
Luxury is the income tax of vanity. But it is so pleasant.
Karl Lagerfeld
I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.
Karl Lagerfeld
I like to reinvent myself — it’s part of my job.
Karl Lagerfeld
The couture is what a certain kind of clientele wears. But it's amusing to do because you do it piece by piece. It's another concept. It's much more work.
Karl Lagerfeld
I am a completely different person when I am working on different collections.
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
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Luxury bags make your life more pleasant, make you dream, give you confidence, and show your neighbors you are doing well.
