"I do what I want because I have fun, you know. I don't want to be the designer who designs one look that you're known for, for the rest of your life, and then he disappears and he dies. I like the continuity to play with fashion. I have no problem, no reason. I do Chanel, which is the French version of me. And Fendi is my Italian version.”

The Photographer
Through Karl's photography we get a glimpse of his wicked sense of humour which translates into his pictures of men as objects and over-sexual women. And he has no problem poking fun at Coco Chanel’s legend.
“I cannot see life without the vision of a photographer anymore. I see the world and fashion through lens.”

Karl- The Magician
Lagerfeld through his many
accolades, lifestyle choices and
astonishing work ethic is a “human
brand” that embodies that
‘magic’ required of a creative director.
Oh no he didn’t…
“Nobody wants to see curvy women…you’ve got fat mothers with their bag of chips sitting in front of
the TV & saying that thin models are ugly”
Oh no he didn’t…
“Sweat pants are a sign of defeat, you lost control of your life so you bought sweat pants”
Oh no he didn’t…
“Yes, some people say to me you're too skinny, but never a skinny person says that to me, only
people who could lose a few pounds say that.”
