Ideas Quote by Karl Lagerfeld

“We live in the world of images, but we also live in the world of the Internet, of zapping and where people move. You can make little videos on your phone. I love very composed images, but the idea of moving pictures with a story, with a plot is quite interesting, too.” quote by Karl Lagerfeld
