More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
I'm not a social person. Not that I'm not at ease. I'm pretty good, but it bores me. Not the people, but the whole thing. What for? It's not very productive. I only want to do what I have to do: fashion, photography, books. And that's all.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Vanity is the healthiest thing in life.
Karl Lagerfeld
There's something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living...
Karl Lagerfeld
The couture is what a certain kind of clientele wears. But it's amusing to do because you do it piece by piece. It's another concept. It's much more work.
Karl Lagerfeld
No, I'm not a French designer either. I'm from nowhere. I'm a European, old European is all I am.
Karl Lagerfeld
I love dogs, but dogs, you have to be in the country with dogs. I cannot walk a dog on the street.
Karl Lagerfeld
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
I like the present and tomorrow
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
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
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.
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
You know, I don't ask myself too much how. I just do it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don't like the sister's face. She should only show her back.
Karl Lagerfeld
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
Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.
Karl Lagerfeld
When I was a child, I never played with other children. I hated them.
Karl Lagerfeld
Buy clothes the size you want to wear.
Karl Lagerfeld
The flat shoe makes the woman equal of men. When they have high [shoes], they play a part like a geisha, and they can't be expected to be taken that seriously.
