More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don't believe too much into inspiration, only I'm waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It's a little too easy to say that.
Karl Lagerfeld
Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.
Karl Lagerfeld
I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
Karl Lagerfeld
With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.
Karl Lagerfeld
Things have to be beautifully made, even if they are full of fun, fantasy and futility
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.
Karl Lagerfeld
It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Dress for yourself and the man you love (if there is one). Women dressing to impress other women--forget about that. Forget about that. It's a very bad way of thinking.
Karl Lagerfeld
Fashion is the healthiest motivation for losing weight.
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
What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.
Karl Lagerfeld
There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes.
Karl Lagerfeld
Don't use your film for ugly purpose.
Karl Lagerfeld
I don't want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven't done. There's no again. There's only the future. I hate the past - especially my own past.
Karl Lagerfeld
There are so many third-rate people now who are more famous than people who should be famous, but sometimes people who could or should be famous are very boring, too.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
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
If there's something dangerous, sauces are dangerous for the body.
Karl Lagerfeld
Oh yes, I love to do shoes. I'm not a fetishist but I love to do shoes.
