I like chocolate. I don’t eat it, but I like the smell of it. People can drink with their eyes I can eat with my nose. I would love to have a perfume based on chocolate.
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
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
Some models who aren't the most beautiful end up becoming the greatest of all time.
Karl Lagerfeld
At my age, I don’t need to be a sexy bundle of muscles, thank you very much.
Karl Lagerfeld
The purpose of life is life.

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.
Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld
People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.
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 don't like to act because my life is a pantomime anyway.
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
I buy my shoes a size too small. I like the way it feels.
Karl Lagerfeld
It's not the days that are old, it's you that's old.
Karl Lagerfeld
Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans — it’s up to you.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm not a marketing person. I don't ask myself questions. I go by instinct.
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.
Karl Lagerfeld
What I like about music is the songs you can remember the lines of in a single second.
Karl Lagerfeld
If you attach no importance to weight problems, if not being able to wear new, trendy small-sized clothes does not cause you any regret, this book is not for you.
