For every book you buy, you should buy the time to read it.
Karl Lagerfeld

The couture is what a certain kind of clientele wears. But it's amusing to do because you do it piece by piece. It's another concept. It's much more work.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I don't like to act because my life is a pantomime anyway.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I love dogs, but dogs, you have to be in the country with dogs. I cannot walk a dog on the street.
Karl Lagerfeld

Black, like white, is the best color!

Those social networks, there's something sad about them. Is it because they don't have enough knowledge about friends and people? I don't understand it. It's like a talkative mirror where people talk to themselves. And what I hate most in life is selfies.

There will be gay couples it will exist. It is not very nice that people who are married - who divorce in three seconds - don’t want protection for the others. The legal system should protect everyone, not just the few people who think they are above everybody else because they are married.

I don’t do meetings. At Chanel, there are no meetings. At Chanel, we do what we want, whenever we want and it works. And Fendi is the same.
Karl Lagerfeld

People who say that yesterday was better than today are ultimately devaluing their own existence.
Karl Lagerfeld

A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I've only wanted paper and beautiful colors. It was my dream, and it still is my dream. And books. They're all I need, and the rest I can do without.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
No, and I never, ever eat in between the meals. I control it well enough and with no pills, and I sleep seven hours a night. I go to bed. I fall asleep, and I wake up seven hours later, and this is the most important.

One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress.

No one wants to see curvy women.

What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
What I hate most in life are people who are not really the peach of the day but who want to be young and sexy. You can fool nobody. There is a moment when you have to accept that somebody else is younger and fresher and hotter. Life is not a beauty contest.

I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I don't want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven't done. There's no again. There's only the future. I hate the past - especially my own past.

I am like a caricature of myself, and I like that. It is like a mask. And for me the Carnival of Venice lasts all year long.
