In 1983, Lagerfeld became the artistic director of the Chanel house, where he initially worked on the creation of ready-to-wear collections, and then founded the KL and KL lines by Karl Lagerfeld.

Rules of life of Lagerfeld:

1. “You can’t look too chic or too modest in a little black dress,” Lagerfeld quotes TSN. Therefore, this option is suitable for almost any gala reception.
2. “Forget about the past. If you are nostalgic, then your time is over. We must adapt to the present ourselves, since it does not adapt to us.”
3. “Do what makes you happy. Forget about money or other traps that are considered success. If you're happy working in a village store, work. Remember you only have one life."
4. “Don’t be a fake, racist, sexist or judge people based on where they come from.”
5. “Strive for excellence in everything. If your body is imperfect, for example, go on a diet and buy smaller things.”
6. “My mother said: “Never sacrifice yourself for others.” Over the years, I realized the deep meaning of this phrase: if you sacrifice yourself to the end, there will be nothing left of you. By saving yourself and your energy, you are able to give a little, but to a lot. To those who will need you tomorrow. And after. Giving yourself completely will leave you empty. And then, not everyone is destined to be born Mother Teresa.”
7. “It’s better to have a split personality than to have no personality at all.”
8. “If I were a Russian woman, I would become a lesbian,” Lagerfeld once said after collaborating with a Russian publication. “Only Naomi Campbell’s boyfriend can be called cute. Russia is a country where the most beautiful women in the world and the most terrible men,” summed up Karl.
9. “I have more books than shelves for them. And I read them all. I'm like Schwarzenegger, just shaking my brains. I'm a brain builder."
10. “I've never smoked. I never got drunk or did drugs. It's funny that people like my nerdiness. But for me this is a normal state of affairs. Most of my friends at least smoke or drink."

And Lagerfeld shared tips on how to stay stylish as always.

1. Fashion is not just a hobby. “Just as appetite comes with eating, fashion gives you ideas while working. I don't believe that after lying on the beach for two months you will suddenly get inspired. Fashion requires a full-time job. And if you want to do something serious, forget about part-time work. This is pleasure when work becomes a hobby,” writes styleinsider.
2. Treat yourself objectively. “Choose clothes strictly according to your body type. Often men and women proudly wear things that do not suit them at all! How can you be fashionable if you look funny from the outside? Therefore, even the most beautiful dress should be bought only when it fits you perfectly.”
3. Do not be afraid to change the rules. “When I first came to Chanel, I had two options: wake up or save. We chose the first option and this is what came out of it.”
4. Be natural. “Try as much as possible to abandon makeup. Natural beauty does not need whitening, lipstick and powder. All this spoils the skin. If you are good without makeup, why do you need it? ”.
5. Choose the future, not the past. “We idealize the past. When I got into fashion in the 50s it was nothing like what you see in the pages of Vogue, it was dirty and terrible. Even my studio couldn't stimulate me enough. The Chanel studio today compared to what I had then is like Star Wars.”
6. Simple things will always be fashionable. “Simple clothing is the key to perfect looks. We are told that lots of accessories and layers are the best ways to stand out. But the result is quite the opposite - we become the same as everyone else. Meanwhile, a comfortable T-shirt and well-fitting jeans are a fashion that is timeless. Add a quality jacket to this and you are on trend!”
7. Always evolve and change. “Some people say elegance is outdated, and they are wrong. Elegance has a new face today. It is very important to be able to adapt to new times.”
