I used to wear Karl Lagerfeld’s signature cologne back in the day and it is still one of my favorites. The late fashion legend was also ruthlessly hysterical. Some of his classic quotes:
- Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette and she is the right girl for that boy. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, her sister struggles. I don’t like the sister’s face. She should only show her back.
- I hate ugly people. They are very depressing.
- Sweatpants are a sign of defeat. You lost control of your life so you bought some sweatpants.
- We cannot talk about suffering. People buy dresses to be happy, not to hear about somebody who suffered over a piece of taffeta.
- I have a sort of Alzheimer’s for my own work, which I think is a very good thing. Today too many people remember what they did — just forget it all and start again.
- I am very much down to earth. Just not this earth.
- Women can be short, but for men it is impossible. It is something that they will not forgive in life… they are mean and they want to kill you.
Owen Benjamin would approve.
