Quote

The couture is what a certain kind of clientele wears. But it's amusing to do because you do it piece by piece. It's another concept. It's much more work.

More quotes by Karl Lagerfeld

Image
I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I am a black diamond, unfaceted. Black diamonds are rare, hard to cut, and therefore uncommercial.

Image
Music gives color to the air of the moment.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
If you're not ready to do a non-stop dialogue with fashion, you should do another job.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
The purpose of life is life.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I like newspapers. Maybe the iPad is very modern and everything, and I'm not against it, but I like the physical contact. And the physical contact of metal and glass is not as sensuous as paper.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.

Image
Youthfulness is about how you live not when you were born.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
As a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything - not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Elegance has nothing to do with fashion.

I'm not a marketing person. I don't ask myself questions. I go by instinct.

There is no marriage, yet, for human beings and animals. I never thought that I would fall in love like this with a cat.

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.

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.

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
Image
I love classic beauty. It’s an idea of beauty with no standard.

Foreigners don't want to invest any more in France - and this is not working.

I can tell you all kinds of moral tales, but fashion and reality are vaguely different.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
What I hate most in life are people who are not really the peach of the day but who want to be young and sexy. You can fool nobody. There is a moment when you have to accept that somebody else is younger and fresher and hotter. Life is not a beauty contest.

I never had to learn English, French and German because I was brought up as all three languages. I had a private French teacher before I even went to school. That helped a lot.
