Marc Jacobs and all, they will have to wait. This is not an easy job, because I have the understanding about Chanel and couture design that nobody has anymore. I have the training that nobody else has. This job is not free. I am not going anywhere.

Haha

He's a genius. A pompous genius, but still...Man, this thread made my day!

His comments on the recent couture: Valentino "has a couture-house organization"; Ungaro's clothes look "strange." Lagerfeld "doesn't understand" Christian Lacroix, although it more than suits his needs as a photographer. As for Versace's gowns, "the look is the look," but after photographing one the previous day, he proclaims its execution perfect. Craftsmanship, however, just isn't good enough when it comes to published pictures of Azzedine Alaïa's collection. The verdict: well-made, but too Eighties.

"I like some of the journalists, because I know they know about fashion. I like people like Tom Ford, his energy, his sense of humor. He's fun to be with, but I fit better into Dior clothes than Saint Laurent, which are too big. I like Calvin Klein; I think he is one of the funniest persons I know. I think they are really nice persons. I am not jealous. I never see myself in comparison." As for Oscar de la Renta, his cheeky dance partner at a carefree party or two, Lagerfeld plays down a long-ago tiff. "No, no, he's sweet. And he's had two divine wives. Françoise was divine; Annette is divine. So he mustn't be that bad. You don't get that kind of woman to live with you if you are not all right yourself."

“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.”

His most deliciously bitchy quote is this one, imo:

"To replace me at Chloe, there was a need for a big name. Too made they choose it from the music world, instead of the fashion world."

I quote from memory, but that was something like that.

if he's really 100, he looks quite old for his age I though he's like at least a few centuries old.

 

[Nouvelle Noir]

A global label like Chanel needs new stuff all the time, like a feast for bulimic person.

Definitely my favourite.

In the whole world, there is nowhere I can go. In Japan, they touch me. I have Japanese women pinch my ***, so now I must say, 'You can have the photo, but please don't touch me.' You cannot pinch the *** of a man my age!

^^Poor Karl,it looks like the woman behind him is eyeing for his behind.

Chloe should have taken a big name, They did, but in music, not fashion. Let's hope she's as gifted as her father.

I soo dont agree what he said about Azzedine Alaïa's clothes!
