KARL LAGERFELDMy hair is not really white; it’s kind of grayish, and I don’t like the color. So I make it totally white with Klorane dry shampoo. That is the best thing to do because my hair is always clean.
KARL LAGERFELDEXTREME LUXURY ISN’T THE MOST BLING-BLING, IT’S EXTREME REFINEMENT, WHICH IS COUTURE AT ITS FINEST.
KARL LAGERFELDSometimes 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.
KARL LAGERFELDThe brain is a muscle, and I’m a kind of body-builder.
KARL LAGERFELDThe smell of a freshly printed book is the best smell in the world.
KARL LAGERFELDAs a child I wanted to be a grown-up. I wanted to know everything – not that I like to talk about it. I hate intellectual conversation with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion.
KARL LAGERFELDI’m not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed.
KARL LAGERFELDDon’t dress to kill, dress to survive.
KARL LAGERFELDI’m very much down to earth, just not this earth.
KARL LAGERFELDThe clothes don’t have to suit you; you have to suit the clothes.
KARL LAGERFELDThese 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.
KARL LAGERFELDBears are very nice, as long as you are nice to them.
KARL LAGERFELDLife 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 LAGERFELDI 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.
KARL LAGERFELDIf someone gives me a to-do list, I say ‘thank you, this is nice.’ One needs things to throw in the wastebasket.
