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
Oh yes, I love to do shoes. I'm not a fetishist but I love to do shoes.

If you're not ready to do a non-stop dialogue with fashion, you should do another job.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
It’s great that in life you do something that you want to do because you like doing it and you’re not bored. I’m not bored at all. I’m even interested in lots of things, more so today than before.

Of course there are some evening dresses that you cannot wear in daylight because it would be ridiculous, but there is a kind of dressy touch for daywear, too, ... And everything, it's easy. There's no barrier between dressy, day and sports. It's feminine 24 hours a day.

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.

Don't dress to kill, dress to survive.

When I was a child, I never played with other children. I hated them.

Fashion is neither moral or immoral, but it is for rebuilding the morale.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
They are this horrible thing where you are distorted. The chin is too big, the head is too small. No, this is electronic masturbation.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
A book has to be easy to open and you don't have to be a bodybuilder to lift it. I like books I can read in bed. Those big tombstones would kill me.

Think pink, but don't wear it.

I’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.
