I hate birthdays, .. It's more like a new starting point in New York. For me, it's an evolution. I don't celebrate the past. I like the present and tomorrow.
Karl Lagerfeld

Those social networks, there's something sad about them. Is it because they don't have enough knowledge about friends and people? I don't understand it. It's like a talkative mirror where people talk to themselves. And what I hate most in life is selfies.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
What I hate most in life are people who are not really the peach of the day but who want to be young and sexy. You can fool nobody. There is a moment when you have to accept that somebody else is younger and fresher and hotter. Life is not a beauty contest.

The best ideas I've had in my life are those I saw in my sleep, in the early morning.

I always think I'm lazy, maybe I could do better, I could make more effort and I always have the feeling that there is a glass wall that I cannot get through. But maybe when I get through, then it's over.

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.

But if I have a lot of imagination, I could tell myself whatever I wanted, you know. I handle myself quite well. I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know. There's no discussion. There is an order. You follow it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
No, I'm not a French designer either. I'm from nowhere. I'm a European, old European is all I am.

Luxury bags make your life more pleasant, make you dream, give you confidence, and show your neighbors you are doing well.

Sunglasses are like eye shadow: They make everything look younger and pretty

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 who say that yesterday was better than today are ultimately devaluing their own existence.

Image
I have one instinct stronger than any other thing in life, and that is the instinct for survival.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
When people want to be liked for what they did, they should stop.

When I was four, I asked my mother for a valet for my birthday.

The story with anorexic girls - nobody works with anorexic girls. That has nothing to do with fashion.

No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important.
