More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.
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 think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door.
Karl Lagerfeld
Only the minute and the future are interesting in fashion -- it exists to be destroyed. If everybody did everything with respect, you'd go nowhere.

Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld
Seduction is, first and foremost, an art form. And seduction should not always be treated as a wild celebration. In fact, it's more of an evocation of what you do. It's more an evocation of seduction.
Karl Lagerfeld
I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.
Karl Lagerfeld
There's something boring about people who have to go to an office for a living...
Karl Lagerfeld
Clothes if they are not well cut, you can kill nobody. A building poorly built can kill people. It's a much more difficult work. I would not compare myself with that.
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
I buy my shoes a size too small. I like the way it feels.
Karl Lagerfeld
If you throw money out of the window throw it out with joy. Don’t say: 'one shouldn't do that' - that is bourgeois.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
