The reason American cars dont sell anymore is that they have forgotten how to design the American Dream. What does it matter if you buy a car today or six months from now, because cars are not beautiful. Thats why the American auto industry is in trouble: no design, no desire. – Karl Lagerfeld
Im not an employee who goes to the office every morning at the same time. Then, vacations are needed. – Karl Lagerfeld
I drink Diet Coke from the minute I get up to the minute I go to bed. – Karl Lagerfeld
Its only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that Im skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think Im big, when I was big, I never thought about it. – Karl Lagerfeld
I think that cars today are almost the exact equivalent of the great Gothic cathedrals: I mean the supreme creation of an era, conceived with passion by unknown artists, and consumed in image if not in usage by a whole population which appropriates them as a purely magical object. – Roland Barthes
Automobiles are free of egotism, passion, prejudice and stupid ideas about where to have dinner. They are, literally, selfless. A world designed for automobiles instead of people would have wider streets, larger dining rooms, fewer stairs to climb and no smelly, dangerous subway stations. – P. J. ORourke
