Karl Lagerfeld
Chic is a kind of mayonnaise, either it tastes, or it doesn't.
Karl Lagerfeld
If I read too much or know too much it's not because I want to talk about it, it's only because it's interesting for me.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.
Karl Lagerfeld
It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it.
Karl Lagerfeld
When people want to be liked for what they did, they should stop.
Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld

Karl Lagerfeld
When I was very young, at the beginning my business was to work more than the others to show them their pointlessness.
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
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
Keep the best, forget the rest.
Karl Lagerfeld
People are very nice to me, even though I'm known for saying rude things.
Karl Lagerfeld
What I've done, Coco Chanel would never have done. She would have hated it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Those social networks, there's something sad about them. Is it because they don't have enough knowledge about friends and people? I don't understand it. It's like a talkative mirror where people talk to themselves. And what I hate most in life is selfies.
