Quote

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
Image
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.

Buy what you don’t have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I didn't play with other children.

Image
What i like about photographs is that they capture a moment that’s gone forever, impossible to reproduce.

I don't want to look sloppy, because then I feel sloppy
