If I read too much or know too much it's not because I want to talk about it, it's only because it's interesting for me.

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.

I see things in the middle of the night. I draw them on paper and I don't even think about it. I'm like a machine in a way - just made of some electronic stuff. Vaguely digital.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.
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.

Its all about taste.If you are cheap, nothing helps
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young. You can fool anyone, apart from the young. The worst are the lip operations. There are people who have it done and I don't recognise them afterwards. They look like they flew through the windscreen during a car accident and were patched up badly afterwards.

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.

If you attach no importance to weight problems, if not being able to wear new, trendy small-sized clothes does not cause you any regret, this book is not for you.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I only wear the latest thing. It's my job.

A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
My childhood was endless - from eight to 18 felt like hundreds of years.
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
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.

No one wants to see curvy women.
Karl Lagerfeld

Some models who aren't the most beautiful end up becoming the greatest of all time.

I was never a feminist because I was never ugly enough for that.

Greece needs to work on a cleaner image. It's a big problem, as they have this reputation of being so corrupt.
Karl Lagerfeld

Youthfulness is about how you live not when you were born.

I'm not a social person. Not that I'm not at ease. I'm pretty good, but it bores me. Not the people, but the whole thing. What for? It's not very productive. I only want to do what I have to do: fashion, photography, books. And that's all.
