The World According to Karl

The German designer’s most memorable quotes are the subject of a book edited by Patrick Mauriès and Jean-Christophe Napias, and published by Flammarion.
Creative director at Fendi womenswear since 1977, Chanel since 1983 and his own eponymous label since 1998, Karl Lagerfelds creativity is shown collection after collection, season after season. Another factor in the creation of the Lagerfeld myth, however, are his Karlisms, the biting witticisms that have been around the world and back again including such memorable quotes as “luxury is having a free spirit, being independent - in short, being politically incorrect” and “I think tattoos are horrible, it’s like wearing a Pucci dress for life”, now compiled and edited by the author and translator Jean-Christophe Napias, under the direction of journalist and editor Patrick Mauriès. They will be published in book form by Flammarion on September 25 in a volume illustrated by artist Charles Ameline. If you can’t wait a few more months, a small taster selection of these mythical sound bites is available on www.karl.com.
