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.

I like chocolate. I don’t eat it, but I like the smell of it. People can drink with their eyes I can eat with my nose. I would love to have a perfume based on chocolate.

Image
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
You come first, the clothes later. Reinvent new combinations of what you already own. Be creative.

What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.

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.

My childhood was endless - from eight to 18 felt like hundreds of years.

I don't have prejudices. I'm against taboos. But of course there are some things I'll never touch - because as a mom, there are things one doesn't want their children to be around.

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
No, I have someone who comes to the house and washes it, puts in the dry shampoo, and takes care if it because I have no time.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I see things in the middle of the night. I draw them on paper and I don't even think about it. I'm like a machine in a way - just made of some electronic stuff. Vaguely digital.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I don't like to act because my life is a pantomime anyway.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
My life is based on change. What I say is OK for the next ten minutes, then I change my mind.

Image
Fortunately there is more wealth in the world than there was at the time of the global economic crisis of 1929 - Chinese, Indian, Arab and Russian.

People are very nice to me, even though I'm known for saying rude things.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.

Evolution is the secret for the next step.

You cannot fight against it. There's a price you have to pay for fame, and people who don't want to pay that price can get in trouble. I accepted the idea of celebrity because of a French expression: 'You cannot have the butter and the money for the butter.'

We built everything - toilets included. I think those islands in the middle of nowhere are quite poetic. It's kind of an Oriental Atlantis.

I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.
