Quotes by Karl

My tentative plan was to extract all of the apposite quotes and endearing images from Lagerfeld: Confidential, but I became so engrossed with Karl’s trips to Monaco to walk around like a fossil and make funny jokes about an old lady who finds a bellybutton in between her titties that I sort of fell off the motivation train halfway through the film only to later regret it. But here are the survivors! I’ve seen this film so many times I can’t be bothered to watch it again for awhile so, while this isn’t a movie review (buy this book), it does contain some great information on the 78-year-old relic. And now to end with a joke. Where do sinful designers go when they die? Chan-hell. MUHHHAAHAHHA.

“Aren’t you tired of it all now? Not at all.
Haven’t you covered the issue? There is no definitive answer. It isn’t an issue you can ever cover. The question keeps changing. That’s why I do the job. There is no answer.”

“The best things I’ve ever done have come from dreams. I don’t know who did them. Unfortunately, you can’t rely on it. Sometimes it’s a whole show, including the sets. Remember the July collection, the black coats and everything? I dreamed it all, including the sets. I filled in the details but I’d seen the basic thing. Unfortunately, you can’t rely on it. It seldom happens.”
