In the rarefied world of fashion, Karl Lagerfeld's quick wit and silver tongue are as infamous as his dark glasses and silver pony tail. The triple-talented creative director of Chanel, Fendi and his own eponymous fashion house, Lagerfeld has consistently invented and re-invented fashion trends for half a century—proffering exacting opinion along the way. This book is a compendium of his deadpan, dead-on bons mots. A sampling of Lagerfeldisms: "I only know how to play one role: me." "Think pink. But don't wear it." "I like everything to be washable, myself included." "Change is the healthiest way to survive." "I don't recommend myself as a guest." "There is one thing I love on earth: to learn."
