"The French say you get hungry when you are eating, and I get inspired when I am working. Its my engine" - Karl Lagerfeld
"Black and White always look modern, whatever that word means."
"I am like a caricature of myself, and I like that. It is like a mask. And for me the Carnival of Venice last all year long."
"Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life, so you bought some sweatpants.”
"Luxury bags make your life more pleasant, make you dream, give you confidence and shows your neighbours your doing well"
"I'm not a marketing person. I don't ask myself questions. I go by instinct."
"You cannot fight against it. There's a price you have to pay for fame, and people who don't want to pay that price can get in trouble. I accepted the idea of celebrity because of a French expression: 'You cannot have the butter and the money for the butter.'"
“I lost 200lb to wear suits by Hedi Slimane."
"Vanity is the healthiest thing in life."
"I have no Human feelings."
"The iPod is genius. I have 300."
"A respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul."
"Elegance is an attitude"
"Dieting is the only game where you win when you lose"
"Trendy is the last stage before tacky."
"I'm very much down to Earth, just not this Earth."
"Don't dress to kill, dress to survive"
Rest in peace Karl Lagerfeld (1933-2019)
Lots of love,
