More from Karl Lagerfeld

Karl LagerfeldKarl Lagerfeld You have to like the present; if not your life becomes secondhand, if you think it was better before. Or that it will be better in the future.
Karl LagerfeldKarl Lagerfeld 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 LagerfeldKarl Lagerfeld If you’re not ready to do a non-stop dialogue with fashion, you should do another job.
