Image
I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there's no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
The elegance is as physical, as moral quality that has nothing common with the clothing. You can see a countrywoman more elegant than one so called elegant woman.

Image
Because I stopped dieting already six months ago, and I think it's important to bring out a book like this and you are there a year later and say look, I'm still like this.

The importance of logo into today's fashion is un! be! Lievable!

Luxury is the income tax of vanity. But it is so pleasant.

Image
I can't wait for the iPhone 6. It's my only ambition in life to have it quickly.

Image
I love dogs, but dogs, you have to be in the country with dogs. I cannot walk a dog on the street.

Image
I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.

They're my burka... I'm a little shortsighted, and people, when they're shortsighted, they remove their glasses and then they look like cute little dogs who want to be adopted.

Sunglasses are like eye shadow: They make everything look younger and pretty
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.

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
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.

I try not to be sentimental and obsessive about possessions. I love collecting, but I hate owning.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

No, I never thought I would like cats.

What I do Coco would have hated. The label has an image and it's up to me to update it. I do what she never did. I had to find my mark. I had to go from what Chanel was to what it should be, could be, what it had been to something else.

I like today and perhaps a little future still, but the past is really something I'm not interested in. So, as far as I'm concerned, I like only the past of things and people I don't know. When I know, I don't care because I knew how it was.

I think for my bones and my size, I better stay with my 60 kilo.

I'm all self-taught. I never had a teacher. Even for English, and French, and German, I hardly went to school.
