More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld

Image
I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
People who say that yesterday was better than today are ultimately devaluing their own existence.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Keep the best, forget the rest.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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
Image
You were never told that Saint-Tropez is paradise?
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
People who can't be alone have a problem. Loneliness is a luxury for people like me.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.

What I do Coco would have hated. The label has an image and it's up to me to update it. I do what she never did. I had to find my mark. I had to go from what Chanel was to what it should be, could be, what it had been to something else.

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
Image
I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it's a very healthy discipline.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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
Image
I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work.
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.

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
Image
No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things.

Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don't like the sister's face. She should only show her back.

There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
What is the worst is a fashion designer who talks all the time of his or her creativity, what they are, how they evolved. Just do it and shut up.

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

A sense of humour and a little lack of respect: That's what you need to make a legend survive.
