Only the minute and the future are interesting in fashion.
Karl Lagerfeld

I've survived quite a few generations. That's because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans — it’s up to you.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
We built everything - toilets included. I think those islands in the middle of nowhere are quite poetic. It's kind of an Oriental Atlantis.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I try not to be sentimental and obsessive about possessions. I love collecting, but I hate owning.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.

People want to know everything, and so they put you in the limelight. Sometimes, I am not down to earth, and I think I am flying away from the outer realms of reality.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn't dare do themselves.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
As a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything - not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
At my age, I don’t need to be a sexy bundle of muscles, thank you very much.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I don't care if people I admire criticize me because their opinion is valuable to me.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I can hardly eat meat because it has to look like something what it was not when it was alive.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.
