Karl Lagerfeld 打造的 Chanel 王國，讓女人們趨之若鶩，大家被這宛如夢境般的一切所吸引，而幕後的推手 Karl Lagerfeld 自己又是怎麼解讀美麗的呢？我們知道他總是一頭白色馬尾，高聳的襯衫領和大片的襯衫袖，還有鮮少脫下的墨鏡，這就是他為自己打造的標誌性美感，也來看看他對美麗，健康，時尚和世界的意見。
有關他的馬尾

「從我開始厭倦我一頭又長又捲(自然捲)的頭髮，我就綁起了馬尾，那是 1976 年的事，這意味著我綁馬尾將近 40 年的時間了，我對髮型沒有什麼天份，這是最簡單的髮型，我也不喜歡使用膠類的髮品，這白色粉末是完美造型道具，因為我的頭髮根本不是白色的。」
-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.-
為時尚的犧牲

關於刺青

「我認為刺青是很可怕的，那就像你一整天都穿著 Pucci 的洋裝。」
-I think tattoos are horrible. It’s like living in a Pucci dress full-time.-

關於美

「美麗，或是變美的期望，本身就是一種危險的動機。 有人(我忘了誰)曾經說過，『一個因為外在美麗產生的愛，是真的愛嗎？』所以不要專注於外在的美，要讓人們對你的靈魂更感興趣。」
-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. 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.-
