Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I don't have prejudices. I'm against taboos. But of course there are some things I'll never touch - because as a mom, there are things one doesn't want their children to be around.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Children are the last thing I want. I hate all children. For other people, it's fine, but not for me. I was born not to be a family person.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I buy my shoes a size too small. I like the way it feels.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Success nullifies. You then have to do it again, preferably differently.
