"Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time"

- Karl Lagerfeld

About this Quote

In this quote, fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld suggests that charm is not a repaired concept, however rather something that is affected by the present patterns and choices of society. He describes that even a female who was considered gorgeous during the Belle Epoch (a period in European history understood for its glamorous and lavish fashion) may not be viewed as the epitome of charm in today's requirements. This highlights the idea that appeal is subjective and continuously progressing. What might be thought about gorgeous in one age might not be seen as appealing in another. Therefore, Lagerfeld recommends that charm ought to not be specified by a specific standard, however rather valued in its ever-changing nature.
