"It's only I have seen enough of it and the funny thing is now, I know that I'm skinny, because I know there are even smaller clothes in the store. I think I'm big, when I was big, I never thought about it"

- Karl Lagerfeld

About this Quote

Karl Lagerfeld's quote speaks with the concept of body image and how it can be affected by our environment. He is stating that he has seen enough of the smaller clothing in the store to understand that he is slim, which when he was larger he never ever considered it. This suggests that he was unaware of his size before, and that it was only when he saw the smaller clothing that he realized he was skinny. This might be translated as a commentary on how our environment can shape our perception of ourselves, and how we can be unaware of our own size till we are exposed to something that makes us realize it. It also talks to the concept of how our body image can be impacted by the media and the fashion industry, which typically promotes impractical body requirements.
