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.

I think tattoos are horrible. It's like living in a Pucci dress full-time.

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.

Image
Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I like newspapers. Maybe the iPad is very modern and everything, and I'm not against it, but I like the physical contact. And the physical contact of metal and glass is not as sensuous as paper.

There will never be a chanel collection without black
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
I've only wanted paper and beautiful colors. It was my dream, and it still is my dream. And books. They're all I need, and the rest I can do without.

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.

No, I never thought I would like cats.

One is never over-dressed or underdressed with a Little Black Dress.

The advantage of Fashion is that there is no racism
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
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.

Some models who aren't the most beautiful end up becoming the greatest of all time.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
No one wants to see curvy women.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
Everything I say is a joke. I am a joke myself.
Karl Lagerfeld
Image
But if I have a lot of imagination, I could tell myself whatever I wanted, you know. I handle myself quite well. I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know. There's no discussion. There is an order. You follow it.
Karl Lagerfeld
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.

Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don't like the sister's face. She should only show her back.

Only the minute and the future are interesting in fashion -- it exists to be destroyed. If everybody did everything with respect, you'd go nowhere.

I never go anywhere. I do sketches and make phone calls, and people visit. It's more fun to come to Paris.
