I am not a second option person. It is that or nothing. If it is not the way I see it I prefer not to see it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Dress for yourself and the man you love (if there is one). Women dressing to impress other women--forget about that. Forget about that. It's a very bad way of thinking.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Don’t wear what you question, wear what you think is right for you.

I’m like a rock singer with one-night stands on the road. I’m here for two days in New York I leave in the morning early. I come back for Anna Wintour’s party at the Met, then again at the end of May for a prize I get from the Gordon Parks Foundation.

Fashion designers are dictators of taste.
Karl Lagerfeld

You have to like the present if not your life becomes secondhand, if you think it was better before. Or that it will be better in the future.

Everything I say is a joke. I am a joke myself.

It's not the days that are old, it's you that's old.

I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there's no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.

Lana del Rey is not bad at all. She looks very much like a modern-time singer. In her photos she is beautiful. Is she a construct with all her implants? She's not alone with implants.

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.

You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur
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.'

The best ideas I've had in my life are those I saw in my sleep, in the early morning.

Fashion and music are the same, because music express its period too.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I like to do things quickly because I'm easily bored.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I get along with everyone except for men my age, who are bourgeois or retired or boring.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I love classic beauty. It’s an idea of beauty with no standard.

Nothing scares me more than people with some doll collection.
