More quotes by 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
I am a black diamond, unfaceted. Black diamonds are rare, hard to cut, and therefore uncommercial.
Karl Lagerfeld
Of course there are some evening dresses that you cannot wear in daylight because it would be ridiculous, but there is a kind of dressy touch for daywear, too, ... And everything, it's easy. There's no barrier between dressy, day and sports. It's feminine 24 hours a day.
Karl Lagerfeld
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
What is the worst is a fashion designer who talks all the time of his or her creativity, what they are, how they evolved. Just do it and shut up.
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
I never played with anything like toys. I wanted to be grown-up.
Karl Lagerfeld
Foreigners don't want to invest any more in France - and this is not working.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
Sunglasses are like eye shadow: They make everything look younger and pretty
Karl Lagerfeld
It would have been difficult to have an ugly daughter.
Karl Lagerfeld
I don’t do meetings. At Chanel, there are no meetings. At Chanel, we do what we want, whenever we want and it works. And Fendi is the same.
Karl Lagerfeld
People want to know everything, and so they put you in the limelight. Sometimes, I am not down to earth, and I think I am flying away from the outer realms of reality.
Karl Lagerfeld
When I was a child, I never played with other children. I hated them.
