More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld
Don't dress to kill, dress to survive.
Karl Lagerfeld
Fashion and music are the same, because music express its period too.
Karl Lagerfeld
A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
You cannot fake chic but you can be chic and fake fur
Karl Lagerfeld
We built everything - toilets included. I think those islands in the middle of nowhere are quite poetic. It's kind of an Oriental Atlantis.
Karl Lagerfeld
Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don't like the sister's face. She should only show her back.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm rather pro-prostitution, I admire people who do it. It can't be much fun. Thank goodness for it. People need relief or they become murderers.
Karl Lagerfeld
I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
Karl Lagerfeld
No, I never thought I would like cats.
Karl Lagerfeld
The best way to know people is to work with them.
Karl Lagerfeld
Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.
Karl Lagerfeld
Don't use expensive clothes as a screen for your personal doubts. Be proud of yourself
Karl Lagerfeld
I've survived quite a few generations. That's because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.
Karl Lagerfeld
Forget about your folklore. I can take a few inspirations, but I can certainly not do an homage. That's not my trip. I'm a fashion vampire. I take what I need and I leave the rest.
Karl Lagerfeld
I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.
Karl Lagerfeld
It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Fashion is about two things: the evolution and the opposite.
Karl Lagerfeld
Fashion designers are dictators of taste.
Karl Lagerfeld
When I was very young, at the beginning my business was to work more than the others to show them their pointlessness.
