You come first, the clothes later. Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Be creative.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Be politically correct, but please don't bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that's the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.

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.

There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
If I were pretentious I would say that I'm not an average person. But really, I know how that is.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
When people want to be liked for what they did, they should stop.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.

I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I rather want my things to be copied than me copying. I would feel ashamed!
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
They are this horrible thing where you are distorted. The chin is too big, the head is too small. No, this is electronic masturbation.

I like the present and tomorrow
