“ WE ARE L UCKY TO HAVE WORKSHOPS AND SUPPLIERS WHO KNOW HOW TO DO EVERYTHING. WE NEED PEOPLE WHO POSSESS A KNOWLEDGE OF TRADITIONAL SAVOIR FAIRE. IF CHANEL HADN’T BOUGHT ALL OF THESE ‘MAISONS,’ I DON’T KNOW HOW WE WOULD MANAGE. WHAT I LIKE IS THAT I HAVE THE POSSIBILITY TO CREATE IN THE BEST CONDITIONS WITH THE BEST PEOPLE. IT’S AN ENORMOUS LUXURY.” — KARL LAGERFELD
