You have to lead your life according to your ideas. Spend all your money and live life in line with what you are fighting for. I hate it when rich people try to be Communists. I think that’s obscene.

I don't eat bubble gum, but I like the smell.
Karl Lagerfeld
I try not to be sentimental and obsessive about possessions. I love collecting, but I hate owning.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that's the secret to doing things well.
Karl Lagerfeld
Its all about taste.If you are cheap, nothing helps
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
Nothing makes you look older than attempting to look young. You can fool anyone, apart from the young. The worst are the lip operations. There are people who have it done and I don't recognise them afterwards. They look like they flew through the windscreen during a car accident and were patched up badly afterwards.
Karl Lagerfeld
Life should be larger than life. Size is important to escape normalization.
Karl Lagerfeld
People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.
Karl Lagerfeld
Elegance has nothing to do with fashion.
Karl Lagerfeld
Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.
Karl Lagerfeld
I'm all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.
Karl Lagerfeld
Be politically correct, but please don't bother other people with conversation about being politically correct, because that's the end of everything. You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation.
Karl Lagerfeld
A collection is not just one basic idea. It comes from something that is in the air, something you suddenly like and put down on paper and then work out.
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
Luxury is the income tax of vanity. But it is so pleasant.
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
I'm open to everything. When you start to criticize the times you live in, your time is over.
Karl Lagerfeld
The purpose of life is life.
Karl Lagerfeld
I am a black diamond, unfaceted. Black diamonds are rare, hard to cut, and therefore uncommercial.
Karl Lagerfeld
If you're not ready to do a non-stop dialogue with fashion, you should do another job.
Karl Lagerfeld
