They said whaaat? Karl’s Quotes #Chanel.
Chanel showed its latest Spring Pret a Porter show this week in Paris.
Which means only one thing : it’s time for Karl’s quotes !
Karl’s description of Chanel’s spring show “This is technology. But with the lingerie, it’s intimate technology!”
On the Kardashian robbery “(She is) too public, too public — we have to see in what time we live. You cannot display your wealth then be surprised that some people want to share it.”
On the Kardashian robbery : “I don’t understand why [Kardashian] was in a hotel with no security and things like this. If you are that famous and you put all your jewelry on the net you go to hotels where nobody can come near to the room.”
On His Ponytail: “When I was tired of the fashion for long, curly hair—because my hair was curly—I started to attach [the ponytail]. It was in 1976. So that means that I have had the ponytail for 35 or 36 years! Not bad, no? It’s the easiest hairdo. I’m not very gifted for hairdos. I don’t like gel and all those products. It’s perfect with this white powder, because my hair is not that white at all.”
On Sacrificing for Fashion:“I lost 200 pounds to wear suits by Hedi Slimane.”
On Tattoos“I think tattoos are horrible. It’s like living in a Pucci dress full-time.”
On Working Out: “I worked out a lot before I was 20. I was hard underneath. I had just a little padding. I was quilted. Always Chanel . . .”
On Successfully Dieting: “Start your diet during a period of optimism and happiness.”
On the Big Beauty Picture: “Beauty—or the desire to be beautiful—is in itself a dangerous motivation. Someone (I forgot who) once said, ‘Does the person who loves someone for their beauty really love them?’ So don’t focus on beauty . . . a respectable appearance is sufficient to make people more interested in your soul.
On life : “It is the sum of our experiences that makes us interesting, and having been through a time in your life in which you were in a bad place (or what you perceived as a bad place) physically can be useful. It can even be necessary.”
