a collection of loathsome putrid things karl lagerfeld has said in celebration of his 79th birthday
"Kate Middleton has a nice silhouette. I like that kind of woman, I like romantic beauties. On the other hand, the sister struggles. I don’t like the sister’s face. She should only show her back." "No one wants to see curvy women. You’ve got fat mothers with their bags of chips sitting in front of the television and saying thin models are ugly." "I have no human feelings" “What I hate is nasty, ugly people… the worst is ugly, short men. 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." "I had an interview once with some German journalist - some horrible, ugly woman…and she wore a yellow sweater that was kind of see-through. She had huge tits and a huge black bra, and she said to me, ‘It’s impolite; remove your glasses.’ I said, ‘Do I ask you to remove your bra?’." "I hate conversations with intellectuals because I only care about my opinion." “I shouldn’t say this, but physically [Andy Warhol] was quite repulsive.""What I do [at Chanel] Coco would have hated." "Respect is not creative … Chanel is an institution, and you have to treat an institution like a whore — and then you get something out of her." "It would have been difficult to have an ugly daughter." “The body has to be impeccable as well-that helps a lot. If it’s not, buy small sizes and eat less food." “People in magazines are 50% bimbo and 50% pregnant women." [what] “You want to create boredom? Be politically correct in your conversation."
