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.”

Fashion Quotables: Karl Lagerfeld

“….”

Well.  I’m not really sure.

Luckily Time has a transcript of this Tom Ford / Karl Lagerfeld interview. Between the Kaiser’s accent and Tom Ford’s dreaminess, I felt dizzy watching the video clip.

The mens discuss menswear principles and construction.

The Cobrasnake Went to Karl Lagerfeld’s Fashion Show and All We Got Were These Flipping Awesome Photos

The Cobrasnake snuck away to Paris to check out Karl Lagerfeld’s show.

You can see all the photos on his site but here are a few of our favorites. 

Easiest Holloween Costume Ever: The Karl Lagerfeld Bag

There is minor office debate on whether this bag is a must have or a major fashion don’t. Can you guys help solve the debacle?

World’s Most Expensive Fishing Trip

Well Karl Lagerfeld strikes again with another absurd product that I am oddly obsessed with. As if the Chanel fishing pole wasn’t enticing enough for me to want to learn how to fly fish, the next to products really put the icing on the cake. A completely custom Chanel bag was made for the fishing rod, and just to promise to attract the fish, Chanel logo flies were made as well. This obviously way over the top for a fashion company, but I can’t help but be completely thrilled with both the idea and the product.

Thanks Fashionista for the images.

AD-dict: F/W Dior Homme Ads

Check out these GOR-geous photos from the Fall/Winter Dior Homme ads. Dior picked none other than Kaiser Karl Lagerfeld to photograph the ads. Yes on top of designing his own line, Fendi, and Chanel, he also moonlights as a photographer. This man does everything and he does it all well!

Fashionably Late

Dear Uncle Karl,

Please accept my sincere apologies for missing your birthday on Wednesday. It simply slipped my mind, but you are indeed in my heart. Let’s hit up the Baskin-Robbins. My treat.

Meanwhile, check your inbox for a someecard card.

Love,

Before They Could Afford Good Coke: Taylor Momsen

Before:

After:

Oh Taylor Momsen, you’re always so attractive and cute on Gossip Girl. What happened? You got the fat check from The CW, and you aren’t looking so good. The second image is a shot of Taylor Momsen at Fashion Week, and she looks like she just got back from blowing some fat rails off Karl Lagerfeld’s antique dick with Kate Moss. I guess now that she is a famous celeb who gets from row seats at Fashion Week, she can finally afford to get some coke that is worthy of the nostrils of only the top fashion gods. Keep crowding around the bathroom sink to “powder” your nose, and you could be the next Mischa Barton, and no one wants that.

Thanks Just Jared for these pre-rehab candids

Karl Lagerfeld Involved With Coco Chanel

Obviously Karl would be involved with anything Chanel, since he is the designer, but now he is working on two other projects involving Coco herself. Two biopics, due to be released next year, will have the backing of Lagerfeld himself as the supervisor of the re-creation of the costumes.

“Chanel et Stravinsky and Coco Avant Chanel, which stars Audrey Tautou (above) as the designer, will feature Chanel dresses and Karl will be supervising the re-creation of costumes and accessories for both productions.”

Thanks Fashionologie

Sonia Rykiel Knows Very Famous People

Sonia Rykiel, who is celebrating 40 years in business with a runway blowout and party on Oct. 1 in Paris, has enlisted some high-profile fashion folk to help celebrate. Rumor has it Rykiel’s daughter, Nathalie, has asked a host of international designers, including Karl Lagerfeld, Donna Karan and Jean Paul Gaultier, to design an outfit in the spirit of Rykiel to pay homage to the sweater queen as part of her jubilee.
