More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.
Karl Lagerfeld
Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that.
Karl Lagerfeld
When I was four, I asked my mother for a valet for my birthday.
Karl Lagerfeld
I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.

Don't dress to kill, dress to survive.
Karl Lagerfeld
EXTREME LUXURY ISN'T THE MOST BLING-BLING, IT'S EXTREME REFINEMENT, WHICH IS COUTURE AT ITS FINEST.

No, I'm not a French designer either. I'm from nowhere. I'm a European, old European is all I am.
Karl Lagerfeld
Stuff your brain with knowledge.
Karl Lagerfeld
My life is based on change. What I say is OK for the next ten minutes, then I change my mind.
Karl Lagerfeld
If there's something dangerous, sauces are dangerous for the body.
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
Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants.
Karl Lagerfeld
What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.
Karl Lagerfeld
There's something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living...
Karl Lagerfeld
The best way to know people is to work with them.
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
For me, Chanel is like music. There are certain notes and you have to make another tune with them.
Karl Lagerfeld
When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.
Karl Lagerfeld
Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people... the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life... they are mean and they want to kill you.
Karl Lagerfeld
There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes.
