卡尔•拉格菲尔德是现代的高级时装大师，同时，他还是一个出了名直言不讳的人：他睿智、出人意料的言论会像不同寻常的即时新闻简报一样突然冒出来。这是一本向这位具有传奇色彩的“时装界的凯撒大帝”表达敬意的引言集。拉格菲尔德就时尚、女性、艺术、政治、爱和生活等主题发表的声明出了名的晦涩难懂，并被世界各地的超级时尚迷、追随者和智者奉为圭臬。这本汇集了拉格菲尔德大量格言的著作的创作得到了他本人的充分授权。拉格菲尔德的“妙语”高雅、不可预测、具有启发性，有时候令人震惊，总是让人无法忽视。

Karl Lagerfeld is a modern master of couture. He is also famously outspoken: his wise, surprising statements pop up like offbeat news flashes. This collection of quotations pays homage to the legendary éminence grise of the fashion world. Lagerfeld’s pronouncements – on fashion, women, art, politics, love, and life high and low – are famously oracular, seized upon by fashionistas, acolytes and sages around the world. Created with the full approval of the designer himself, this cornucopia of Lagerfeld’s maxims is required reading for us all today as we negotiate the trickiest curves of modern life. Cultivated, unpredictable, provocative, sometimes shocking, Lagerfeld’s ‘bons mots’ are always impossible to ignore.
