Quote

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.

I don't know Heidi Klum. She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn't know who she is.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I am a completely different person when I am working on different collections.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I'm never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that's the secret to doing things well.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
The story with anorexic girls - nobody works with anorexic girls. That has nothing to do with fashion.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
A collection is not just one basic idea. It comes from something that is in the air, something you suddenly like and put down on paper and then work out.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.

We live in a dark and romantic and quite tragic world.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
You have to like the present if not your life becomes secondhand, if you think it was better before. Or that it will be better in the future.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
People are very nice to me, even though I'm known for saying rude things.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Keep the best, forget the rest.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
They're my burka... I'm a little shortsighted, and people, when they're shortsighted, they remove their glasses and then they look like cute little dogs who want to be adopted.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
When I was four, I asked my mother for a valet for my birthday.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
We live in the world of images, but we also live in the world of the Internet, of zapping and where people move. You can make little videos on your phone. I love very composed images, but the idea of moving pictures with a story, with a plot is quite interesting, too.

Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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
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

For me, Chanel is like music. There are certain notes and you have to make another tune with them.
