More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Fashion and music are the same, because music express its period too.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.'
Karl Lagerfeld
In a meat-eating world, wearing leather for shoes and clothes and even handbags, the discussion of fur is childish.
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 hate leisure, except reading. I'm really a person made to work, if sketching is considered work.
Karl Lagerfeld
I am a black diamond, unfaceted. Black diamonds are rare, hard to cut, and therefore uncommercial.
Karl Lagerfeld
I hate birthdays, .. It's more like a new starting point in New York. For me, it's an evolution. I don't celebrate the past. I like the present and tomorrow.
Karl Lagerfeld
I like the discipline of well-cut, impeccable clothes. I think it's a very healthy discipline.
Karl Lagerfeld
I can hardly eat meat because it has to look like something what it was not when it was alive.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.
Karl Lagerfeld
Stuff your brain with knowledge.
Karl Lagerfeld
What is the worst is a fashion designer who talks all the time of his or her creativity, what they are, how they evolved. Just do it and shut up.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
Karl Lagerfeld
What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.
Karl Lagerfeld
Books are a hard-bound drug with no danger of an overdose. I am the happy victim of books.
Karl Lagerfeld
In France there are, I think, less than one per cent of people who are too skinny.
Karl Lagerfeld
When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.
Karl Lagerfeld
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
Guilty feelings about clothes are totally unnecessary. A lot of people earn their living by making clothes, so you should never feel bad.
