Fashion Quotables: The Best of Karl Lagerfeld

Ask my age again and I'll bust a cap in you fool!

In honor of Karl Lagerfeld’s 70ish birthday, BILD created a list of some of his most memorable quotes. Below is a few of their best and some of our favorites..

“You can not take yourself too seriously.”

“I am basically the most superficial person in the world.”

“Sunglasses are like eyeshadow. They make everything look younger and prettier.”

“Gratitude is a sticky feeling.”

“Fashion designers are dictators of taste.”

“Coming out after a show is good discipline for me because I have to watch out that I don’t look like an old garden gnome next to all these 20-year-old models.”

"Elegance has nothing to do with fashion."

In response to being asked why he never photographs his models completely nude: “My work is concerned with a more poetic version of reality. I am no urologist.”

“Loneliness is the high point of luxury for me. I need time to myself, otherwise I would not be who I am.”

“I’m sorry. What I say is only applicable as I am saying it.”

“I hate the word ‘cheap’. People are cheap. Clothing is either expensive or inexpensive.”

“I hate birthdays, … It’s more like a new starting point in New York. For me, it’s an evolution. I don’t celebrate the past. I like the present and tomorrow.”
