6. On Weddings And His Dresses
Normally, I don’t recommend me for wedding dresses—they all get a divorce.
7. On Labels
I am a living label. My name is Labelfeld, not Lagerfeld.
8. On Himself

Don’t sacrifice yourself too much, because if you sacrifice too much there’s nothing else you can give and nobody will care for you.
