Though Karl likes Kate, he's no fan of Pippa, "I don't like the sister's face. She should only show her back."
"I don’t understand the change of hair … Frankly, the fringe was a bad idea. It’s not good," and it goes on like that.
"The story with anorexic girls - nobody works with anorexic girls. That has nothing to do with fashion. People who have that, they have problem with family and things like this."
“[High Fashion is about] dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.”
Lagerfeld told Metro Paris he is a great admirer of Adele, despite her being “a little too fat.”

While trying to give Carine Roitfeld a compliment, he said, “Yes, no one can say that you don’t take care of them. You’re also lucky because they are very beautiful. It would have been difficult to have an ugly daughter.”
"[Children are] the last thing I want. I hate all children. For other people, it's fine, but not for me. I was born not to be a family person."

"I live in certain isolation. I never take appointments in the morning. I leave my house only after lunch. I don't want to have a social life. I've had enough of that in my life. It's demode. It's another era. Perhaps people are still excited by that era, but not me. It's uninteresting today. It says nothing. It's boring, pretentious and vulgar...Even for charity, people get paid. I try to avoid charity. It doesn't happen for me. I'm rich enough not to have to do that."

Lagerfeld defended his use of fur like so:
Hunters in the north "make a living having learnt nothing else than hunting", he said, "killing those beasts who would kill us if they could."
After Robin Givhan's bad review, Lagerfeld said, “First of all, Tina Brown’s magazine is not doing well at all,” he said before ripping into the credibility of the story. “She is dying,” he continued. “I’m sorry for Tina Brown, who was such a success at Vanity Fair, to go down with a shitty little paper like this. I’m sorry.”
In response to learning that DVF said he may not be the best designer aesthetically, but that he was the smartest: "And look at her prints, hmm?"
“I hate the smell of cooking. Some people love it, but I don’t care for it. I don’t eat sweet things. I don’t eat greasy things. And I like fish better than meat. In fact, I hate meat. My doctor calls me to eat meat twice a week, as apparently we are cannibals."

In the same interview, he added, "There used to be a Nobu here in Paris but it was very bad; it was horrible.”
“You know I don’t eat bread, I don’t eat sugar, I don’t eat meat, so for me, the Japanese kitchen is perfect,” he said. Although he made one noteworthy exception. “I hate rice,” he said emphatically, recalling a time when he had to eat a rice-only diet for 11 days to recover from an illness. “After that I could never have rice again in my life.”

“I noticed that people became bigger than before because now they eat more cake and sweets and things like this that they didn’t do in the past. There’s a real change in the look of the Japanese people. Normally, before, they were all tiny. It’s the kind of beauty you get from junk food,” he said.
In addition to putting Claudia Schiffer in blackface (above), Lagerfeld defended his use of yellowface by saying, “It is an homage to Europeans trying to look Chinese. Like in ‘The Good Earth’, the people in the movie liked the idea that they had to look like Chinese. Or like actors in ‘Madame Butterfly’. People around the world like to dress up as different nationalities.”
Dude, come on:
"Nobody wants Greece to disappear, but they have really disgusting habits -- Italy as well."
He just keeps going, "If I was a woman in Russia I would be a lesbian, as the men are very ugly. There are a few handsome ones, like Naomi Campbell's boyfriend, but there you see the most beautiful women and the most horrible men."
"I'm the most selfish person in the world. Being selfish, I take care of others. My mother always used to say, "Don't sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there's nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you."
Seemingly.
