Quote

The flat shoe makes the woman equal of men. When they have high [shoes], they play a part like a geisha, and they can't be expected to be taken that seriously.

A collection is not just one basic idea. It comes from something that is in the air, something you suddenly like and put down on paper and then work out.

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

The best ideas I've had in my life are those I saw in my sleep, in the early morning.

I never played with anything like toys. I wanted to be grown-up.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
No. I mean those people really did something for designers I don't think department stores can, could or should do still today. Today the world is different so you have to make it differently. There's TV. There's a lot of things.

A book has to be easy to open and you don't have to be a bodybuilder to lift it. I like books I can read in bed. Those big tombstones would kill me.

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.

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.

Image
I see things in the middle of the night. I draw them on paper and I don't even think about it. I'm like a machine in a way - just made of some electronic stuff. Vaguely digital.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
You know, I don't ask myself too much how. I just do it.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I've survived quite a few generations. That's because I never lost my enthusiasm. I wake up every morning like on Christmas Day, waiting for the gifts.

Image
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.

Luxury bags make your life more pleasant, make you dream, give you confidence, and show your neighbors you are doing well.

Image
There will be gay couples it will exist. It is not very nice that people who are married - who divorce in three seconds - don’t want protection for the others. The legal system should protect everyone, not just the few people who think they are above everybody else because they are married.

A sense of humour and a little lack of respect: That's what you need to make a legend survive.

I'm never content with what I do. I live in a sort of permanent dissatisfaction. I think that's the secret to doing things well.

Image
I don't have prejudices. I'm against taboos. But of course there are some things I'll never touch - because as a mom, there are things one doesn't want their children to be around.

Fashion is neither moral or immoral, but it is for rebuilding the morale.
