Karl Lagerfeld Jobs Quotations

I only wear the latest thing. It's my job.

I'm very happy that I have an Italian version, a French version, and then I have my own company, but I'm not obsessed by my name. Some people are, "Oh, my name," but I couldn't care less about my name. What I like is the job. The ego trip of that comes later.

I do my job like I breathe.

I like to reinvent myself — it’s part of my job.

I do my job like I breathe — so if I can’t breathe I’m in trouble.

I'm a very down-to-earth person, but it is my job to make that earth more pleasant.

People who do a job that claims to be creative have to be alone to recharge their batteries. You can’t live 24 hours a day in the spotlight and remain creative. For people like me, solitude is a victory.

My job is to bring out in people what they wouldn't dare do themselves.

If you're not ready to do a non-stop dialogue with fashion, you should do another job.

I hate amateurs. I hate unprofessional people. There are enough people who can do jobs decently that there's no reason that people who cannot do them decently [should] pretend to be great at it.
