More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
Success nullifies. You then have to do it again, preferably differently.
Karl Lagerfeld
I like chocolate. I don’t eat it, but I like the smell of it. People can drink with their eyes I can eat with my nose. I would love to have a perfume based on chocolate.
Karl Lagerfeld
Forget about your folklore. I can take a few inspirations, but I can certainly not do an homage. That's not my trip. I'm a fashion vampire. I take what I need and I leave the rest.
Karl Lagerfeld
Its all about taste.If you are cheap, nothing helps
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes.

Karl Lagerfeld
In fact, I don't even know myself. That is the big secret of the story. That there is no story.
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
You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur
Karl Lagerfeld
Black, like white, is the best color!

I lost 200lb to wear suits by Hedi Slimane
Karl Lagerfeld
We live in the world of images, but we also live in the world of the Internet, of zapping and where people move. You can make little videos on your phone. I love very composed images, but the idea of moving pictures with a story, with a plot is quite interesting, too.
Karl Lagerfeld
I like to do things quickly because I'm easily bored.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
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
Stuff your brain with knowledge.
Karl Lagerfeld
With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.
Karl Lagerfeld
Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.
