Karl Lagerfeld quotations
• For me, Chanel is like music. There are certain notes and you have to make another tune with them.
• When I took over Chanel, nobody wanted it anymore. People said don’t touch it, it’s dead, it’s over. I saw possibility for the years to come.

• Loving someone is fine, but they have to love you back or it doesn’t work.

• Florals are for middle-aged women with weight problems.
• Chanel is an institution, and you have to treat an institution like a whore – and then you get something out of her.
• I hate the word “avant-garde.” It was used, overused, and often used for useless things. So I do not use that word any longer.

• Believe it or not, I love rap.
• Some designers think they do Art, but they think other designers do not.
