We live in a dark and romantic and quite tragic world. - Karl Lagerfeld

"The elegance is as physical, as moral quality that has nothing common with the clothing. You can see a countrywoman more elegant than one so called elegant woman."

"I want everyone to wear what they want and mix it in their own way. That, to me, is what is modern."

"People who say that yesterday was better than today are ultimately devaluing their own existence."

"Like poetry, fashion does not state anything. It merely suggests"

"We need houses as we need clothes, architecture stimulates fashion. It’s like hunger and thirst — you need them both."
