More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld

Image
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.

Image
There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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
Image
We live in a dark and romantic and quite tragic world.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
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.

Image
Be politically correct, but please don't bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that's the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.

I only wear the latest thing. It's my job.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Youthfulness is about how you live not when you were born.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.

Greece needs to work on a cleaner image. It's a big problem, as they have this reputation of being so corrupt.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.'
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I have one instinct stronger than any other thing in life, and that is the instinct for survival.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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
Image
I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there's no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.

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.

Tell me, why do former young designers who are now in their middle 40s have to redo the 1960s and 70s. Why they cannot invent fashion for today?
