Fashion is a language that creates itself in clothes to interpret reality.
Interpretation
Fashion serves as a medium of expression that translates our perceptions of reality into visual form.
This quote by Karl Lagerfeld emphasizes that fashion is more than just clothing; it is a form of communication that reflects and interprets the reality we live in. Through the choices we make in our attire, we convey messages about ourselves and our perspectives on the world, creating a dynamic dialogue with society and culture.
In practice
During a fashion seminar, one could use this quote to highlight the interpretative power of clothing.
I believe in sketching because there is something very sensitive in sketching, you know, in sketches that you don't have out of a computer that looks the same like everybody even if, later on, the dresses are OK, but I like to sketch, and I like to see trails made after my sketches that look the same.

I don't start a film with the heroine but with the cinema subject. If there is a woman in the story, she has to be of a particular type. It's not as if I start with Madhuri Dixit and then think what kind of film.
My greatest fear is feeling like a professional novelist. Somebody who creates characters, who sits down and has pieces of paper taped to the wall - what's going to happen in this scene, or this act. What I like is for it to be a much more scary, sloppy reflection of who I am.
Art when really understood is the province of every human being. It is simply a question of doing things, anything, well. It is not an outside, extra thing.
The greatest sin for a writer is to be boring.
Dancing is, in itself, a very trifling and silly thing: but it is one of those established follies to which people of sense are sometimes obliged to conform; and then they should be able to do it well. And though I would not have you a dancer, yet, when you do dance, I would have you dance well, as I would have you do everything you do well.
It took, for me, a long time to develop this idea of what to do on the radio. But from the beginning of my time in radio, I had pretty non-traditional tasks.
