Karl Lagerfeld: 'I Have No Idea Of What It Means To Take Yourself Seriously'

Karl Lagerfeld spoke with Suzy Menkes as part of the International Herald Tribune's 10th annual luxury conference and Fashionologie has a roundup of the Kaiser's best quotes as posted to Twitter. Here's a few of our favorites:

  • On who the real Karl Lagerfeld is: "I am a cocktail."
  • On designing: "I love my job. I have no idea of what it means to take yourself seriously. You have to be detached."
  • On the pecking order at Chanel: "Nobody tells me what to do at Chanel...I am there to be used. I like to be used, but only in the way I think I should be used."
  • On ego: "People think I'm on an ego trip, but I'm not. I can get out of people what they want to express but can't."
