Vi har samlet 25 af Karl Lagerfelds mest berømte, humoristiske og provokerende citater gennem tiden.
Få mennesker har formået at sætte så stort et præg på moden, som tyske Karl Lagerfeld.
Chanel-designeren startede sin karriere i 1950’ernes Paris, hvor han, efter at have vundet "Woolmark Prize", blev hyret som assistent for designeren Pierre Balmain, og i løbet af de næste mange årtier udfoldede hans karriere sig hos modehusene Chloé, Fendi og den mest berømte: Chanel.
Han forblev kreativ direktør hos Fendi og Chanel frem til sin død.

“I remember going with a friend of my mother’s to see her [Coco Chanel’s] first collection when she opened [again] in 1954. And I liked it because it was a big failure, a big flop, but there was a mood of what I thought I had missed in life, the 20s and the early 30s, because this was what I liked”.

"I'm very impeccable and clean before I go to bed. It's just like right before I'm going out. When I was a child, my mother always told me that you could wake up in the middle of the night and be deathly sick, so you always have to be impeccable. I laugh about it now, but I think everyone should go to bed like they have a date at the door".
