There's no Chanel collection without black. (It) will never exist. Who can live without some black clothes.

I can't wait for the iPhone 6. It's my only ambition in life to have it quickly.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I'm never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that's the secret to doing things well.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
The best ideas I've had in my life are those I saw in my sleep, in the early morning.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I'm born with a pencil in my hand. I did lots of sketching.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I can hardly eat meat because it has to look like something what it was not when it was alive.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.

You cannot fight against it. There's a price you have to pay for fame, and people who don't want to pay that price can get in trouble. I accepted the idea of celebrity because of a French expression: 'You cannot have the butter and the money for the butter.'

As a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything - not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion.

T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I think tattoos are horrible. It's like living in a Pucci dress full-time.
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
The best way to know people is to work with them.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I only know how to play one role: me.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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
Image
I hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Tell me, why do former young designers who are now in their middle 40s have to redo the 1960s and 70s. Why they cannot invent fashion for today?
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
The elegance is as physical, as moral quality that has nothing common with the clothing. You can see a countrywoman more elegant than one so called elegant woman.

I prefer to be in a video than to play with it.

I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
