Normally, I don't recommend me for wedding dresses – they all get a divorce.
Karl Lagerfeld -
The French say you get hungry when you’re eating, and I get inspired when I’m working. It’s my engine.

There are so many third-rate people now who are more famous than people who should be famous, but sometimes people who could or should be famous are very boring, too.
Karl Lagerfeld -
Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.

I imagine the world from my window ... Traveling, I think it's a nightmare today. The airports and things the people in the street with the selfies ... I like to stay at home and read.
Karl Lagerfeld -
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.
Karl Lagerfeld -
Fashion keeps me designing: the love of change, the idea that the next one will be the right one, the nonstop dialogue
Karl Lagerfeld -
Fashion does not have to prove that it is serious. It is the proof that intelligent frivolity can be something creative and positive

Never use the word “cheap”. Today everybody can look chic in inexpensive clothes (the rich buy them too). There is good clothing design on every level today. You can be the chicest thing in the world in a T-shirt and jeans — it’s up to you.
Karl Lagerfeld -
The clothes don’t have to suit you; you have to suit the clothes.
Karl Lagerfeld -
I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there's no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.
Karl Lagerfeld -
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.
Karl Lagerfeld -
I only go to places if I have a professional reason. I'm not a tourist.
Karl Lagerfeld -
Sometimes it's easy to have ideas, but somebody has to find a way to do it. Often those responsible for finding a way don't have the idea.

Life is not a beauty contest, some [ugly people] are great. What I hate is nasty, ugly people... the worst is ugly, short men. Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life... they are mean and they want to kill you.
Karl Lagerfeld -
I hate birthdays, .. It's more like a new starting point in New York. For me, it's an evolution. I don't celebrate the past. I like the present and tomorrow.
Karl Lagerfeld -
I care more about the people than about the company. That's why I don't want to own it. I don't want to run a business. People do it better than I do.
Karl Lagerfeld -
I hated the company of other children. I wanted to be a grownup person, to be taken seriously. I hated the idea of childhood; I thought it was a moment of endless stupidity.
Karl Lagerfeld -
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 -
I don't want to do anything over again, ever again. I want only to do what I haven't done. There's no "again." There's only the future. I hate the past - especially my own past.

-
Things have to be beautifully made, even if they are full of fun, fantasy and futility
Karl Lagerfeld -
I am a completely different person when I am working on different collections.
Karl Lagerfeld -
I’m not crazy to discuss fashion with men. I couldn’t care less about their opinion.
Karl Lagerfeld -
The middle has not enough class that I think about the middle class.
