Karl Lagerfeld

Pfft, I hate Christmas Day. It's for children and families. Not for people like me.

When I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.

The purpose of life is life.

Buy what you don__ have yet, or what you really want, which can be mixed with what you already own. Buy only because something excites you, not just for the simple act of shopping.

Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.

These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly. Fashion is about dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.

Think pink but don't wear it

Like poetry, fashion does not state anything. It merely suggests

I would like to be a one-man multinational fashion phenomenon.

Forgiveness isn__ something I__ preoccupied with _ turning the other cheek isn__ my trip.

The elegance is as physical, as moral quality that has nothing common with the clothing. You can see a countrywoman more elegant than one so called elegant woman.

I had an interview once with some German journalist__ome horrible, ugly woman. It was in the early days after the communists__aybe a week after__nd she wore a yellow sweater that was kind of see-through. She had huge tits and a huge black bra, and she said to me, __t__ impolite; remove your glasses._ I said, __o I ask you to remove your bra?

Fashion is about two things: the evolution and the opposite.

I do my job like I breathe _ so if I can__ breathe I__ in trouble.

Fashion is about going ahead, not about memory.

I__ very much down to earth, just not this earth.

The secret to modeling is not being perfect. What one needs is a face that people can identify in a second. You have to be given what__ needed by nature, and what__ needed is to bring something new.

Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.
