The 10 best comments of Karl Lagerfeld in this 2012:
“If I was a woman in Russia I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell’s boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men.” —He told Metro.
“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.” —he told Grazia in August.
“Marriage was invented when people died at 30. Now they marry at 30 and have to do it for 60 years. Perhaps it should be based on more than sex. The idea that you will never look at anyone else, that is a problem.” —he told British Vogue.
“I hate massage and I don’t believe in massage. I hate to be touched… I’m not John Travolta.” —Lagerfeld told The Cut.
“She is a famous beauty. She is nine months old. [Model] Baptiste [Giabiconi] gave her to me for Christmas to watch for two weeks when he was away but then I refused to give her back. I thought she was too cute. She is like a kept woman. She has a strong personality. She has lunch and dinner with me on the table, with her own food. She doesn’t touch my food. She doesn’t want to eat on the floor. She sleeps under a pillow and she even knows how to use an iPad. She has two personal maids, for both night and day. She is beyond spoiled … When I am not there, the maids take down, in little books, everything she did, from what she ate, to how she behaved, if she was tired, and if she wasn’t sleeping. In the nine months, we already have almost 600 pages.” —Lagerfeld told WWD.
“The story with anorexic girls — nobody works with anorexic girls. That has nothing to do with fashion. People who have that, they have problem with family and things like this. There are less than 1 percent of anorexic girls, but there are over — in France, I don’t know about England — over 30 percent of girls who are big, big, overweight.” –he told England’s Channel 4 News in October.
“The thing at the moment is Adele. She is a little too fat, but she has a beautiful face and a divine voice.” –Lagerfeld told Metro in February.
“My favorite thing about Mrs. Obama was when she was asked if her skirt was not too tight and she answered ‘Why you don’t like my big black ass?’ I want [Barack] Obama towin because there is nothing better anyway, and especially because of her.” —he told Metro (via Vogue UK)
“I think [Queen Elizabeth] looks very good in her recent photos even better than a few years ago – beautiful, a bit like Queen Mary. She looks a little bit like her grandmother – a more smiley version. In terms of what she wears, she’s come into herself a little bit more – whatever that is.”
“Nowadays people give the middle finger quite quickly – it’s not the best behavior. Everybody does that, what’s new about that? It’s just become a bad habit. People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women.” —he told Metro.
