Quote

Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans — it’s up to you.

Some people would like me to be round again.
Karl Lagerfeld

If I read too much or know too much it's not because I want to talk about it, it's only because it's interesting for me.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
When I was a child, I never played with other children. I hated them.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
It’s great that in life you do something that you want to do because you like doing it and you’re not bored. I’m not bored at all. I’m even interested in lots of things, more so today than before.

In France there are, I think, less than one per cent of people who are too skinny.

Image
People want to know everything, and so they put you in the limelight. Sometimes, I am not down to earth, and I think I am flying away from the outer realms of reality.
Karl Lagerfeld

It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.

Keep the best, forget the rest.

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.

I only wear the latest thing. It's my job.

I rather want my things to be copied than me copying. I would feel ashamed!

Image
We built everything - toilets included. I think those islands in the middle of nowhere are quite poetic. It's kind of an Oriental Atlantis.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I am a completely different person when I am working on different collections.
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.

In fact, I don't even know myself. That is the big secret of the story. That there is no story.

The advantage of Fashion is that there is no racism

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.
