Karl Lagerfeld
Yes, and I can sit down on a white piece of paper and work because I don't believe too much into inspiration, only I'm waiting for inspiration, work and then inspiration may come. It's a little too easy to say that.
Karl Lagerfeld
With expensive fashion, the inside should be as perfect as the outside.
