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.

Bling is over. Red carpet covered with rhinestones is out. I call it 'the new modesty.'

Chanel is composed of only a few elements, white camellias, quilted bags and Austrian doorman's jackets, pearls, chains, shoes with black toes. I use these elements like notes to play with.
Karl Lagerfeld -
I have no human feelings.

The couture is what a certain kind of clientele wears. But it's amusing to do because you do it piece by piece. It's another concept. It's much more work.

Chic is a kind of mayonnaise, either it tastes, or it doesn't.

I sleep seven hours. If I go to bed at two, I wake up at nine. If I go to bed at midnight, I wake up at seven. I don't wake up before - the house can fall apart, but I sleep for seven hours.

Trendy is the last stage before tacky.
Karl Lagerfeld -
I'm kind of fascist with myself, you know.

My only ambition in life . . . is to wear size 28 jeans.

EXTREME LUXURY ISN'T THE MOST BLING-BLING, IT'S EXTREME REFINEMENT, WHICH IS COUTURE AT ITS FINEST.

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.
Karl Lagerfeld -
I rather want my things to be copied than me copying. I would feel ashamed!
Karl Lagerfeld -
I've done many ads because that's my new career. It's an inspiring extension for my mind.

Of course there are some evening dresses that you cannot wear in daylight because it would be ridiculous, but there is a kind of dressy touch for daywear, too, ... And everything, it's easy. There's no barrier between dressy, day and sports. It's feminine 24 hours a day.
