KARL LAGERFELDI only go to places if I have a professional reason. I’m not a tourist.
KARL LAGERFELDIf I was a woman in Russia, I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell’s boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men.
