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.

More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld

Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young. You can fool anyone, apart from the young. The worst are the lip operations. There are people who have it done and I don't recognise them afterwards. They look like they flew through the windscreen during a car accident and were patched up badly afterwards.

You have to lead your life according to your ideas. Spend all your money and live life in line with what you are fighting for. I hate it when rich people try to be Communists. I think that’s obscene.

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

I only know how to play one role: me.
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.

Everything I say is a joke. I am a joke myself.

Fashion is about two things: the evolution and the opposite.

Fashion keeps me designing: the love of change, the idea that the next one will be the right one, the nonstop dialogue

I don't know Heidi Klum. She was never known in France. Claudia Schiffer also doesn't know who she is.
