This book collects more than 400 quotations from Karl Lagerfeld, the fashion designer who led Chanel and Fendi. Arranged by theme, the sayings cover fashion, style, beauty, work, money, culture, people and Lagerfeld himself. They are witty, provocative and often outrageous, and reveal his views on creativity and his famous self-discipline. Line drawings by Lagerfeld accompany the text, making it a playful portrait of the designer.

• Shane Parrish: “Karl Lagerfeld “is a modern master of couture.” That explains why my t-shirt and jean wearing self had never heard of him before picking up this book, which is really a collection of his wit and wisdom in the form of quotations.”
