Classic Karl Lagerfeld Quotes

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this thread ..if not, please move it to where it belongs as I have no clue

Anyway, this thread is decicated to the remarkable and priceless quotes of Karl Lagerfeld..

[perezhilton.com]​

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!

I cannot go out without something for my eyes, because someone might throw chemicals in my face

I was young, I was rich, and I drove a swanky convertible. Times have changed. The only thing you get from cruising around in an open-roofed Mercedes-Benz these days is beer-can thrown into the backseat

I never suffered from being overweight. At the time, oversized Japaneese fashion was all the rage. Call me a fashion victim, but when the pendulum swung back to skinny-fits I simply shrunk to follow the trend

I'm not interested in history! That's very childish. That's Gay Pride

What would you do if she (Coco) walked in now and said: "What the f*ck are you doing with my fashion house?"
I would say, "Darling, this is no longer your business. F*ck you!



Karl on:

Princess Diana:
She was pretty and she was sweet, but she was stupid

Camilla Parker Bowles:
The public does not know who Camilla is. She is the life of the party! She's sparkling, she's witty, she's ready for everything, and not pretentious, not one bit. If you had to make a choice to live with somebody, this is the one

Jessica Simpson:
Ecch. I'm not that impressed. I'm not that interested. I'm not that impressed

Lindsay Lohan:
She's somebody you want to protect, because she plays dangerously with her own life. She behaves like an over-grown-up person, and that's what I like about her. It's like she's 45, but in fact, she's 20

Pete Doherty:
He's gone. His music - the look - is over now. there's nothing to think about it. It is too late

Angelina Jolie:
Stunningly beautiful. She has the kind of mouth other people pay to get

Hahahahaha what an ****.
Very harsh he is,and what is he on about? History? Most of his designs are inspired by history.
The quotes are damn funny.
Random but Karl Lagerfeld looks/reminds me of The Godfather.

Funny stuff, style expert.

"Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only people who could lose a few pounds say that."

"Girls have wanted to look like Kate Moss since she was an emaciated 15-year-old.Kate Moss has a lot of courage in the way she throws her life away in a very dangerous way, but that makes her so touching."

some more

Reporter: Are you glamorous?
Karl: I do not see myself as glamorous, it depends on the circumstances. I can be glamorous. I can be boring. I can be dowdy. I'm like an actor, except I act only in life, not on screen.

I thought it was nice and polite and fun to show in New York.

It is not bimbo, it is glamorous. That was the idea.

Reporter: The girls (models) were pretty.
Karl: How were the guys?
Reporter: I love the one in the metallic silver T-shirt
Karl: He is very cute. He has a real image.

One should perhaps not even call it cruise collection anymore because that's limited to a big ship with middle-aged people

the coco one...hehe..my goodness that was funny.

 

[Royal-Galliano]

“What I hate most in life are people who are not really the peach of the day but who want to be young and sexy. You can fool nobody. There is a moment when you have to accept that somebody else is younger and fresher and hotter. Life is not a beauty contest.”
