Karl: Black and white the best colors. They look very beautiful with red .

Lesson9：Fashion is important but it is not the only permanent stimulant.

Ask: I always look for exciting items like red lipsticks, big crystal earrings and large bags. What is the latest fashion stimulant?

Karl: I do not know what new stimulant will appear in the fashion circle. But I know it is time for you to reflect upon yourself as you raise this question. Are you so boring that you have to find stimulants? As your doctor, I suggest you have have deep and profound reflections. Fashion is important but it is not the only permanent stimulant. You should learn to find joys in life. For example, change your hair style or try another mix. Treat yourself in sincerely. You need changes.

Lesson10：The 1980s trend is not suitable for those who went though the time. Discover what is next is more important.

Karl: Well we are both the experienced persons of 1980s. The 1980s items you mentioned are not longer suitable for us now. But how you can let go your good shape？ Stop finding excuses. That is why you keep shopping for comforts. The most important thing for you is to find your good shape back. When you achieve it, you find find lots of new fashions. I hope you can make it soon. Forget  1980s and look for what is next. The 1980s trend is just a short trend.

Lesson11： You are not a star, so it is enough if you feel great in the carpet you are standing.

Ask: I have dual nature and often feel upset for split personality. In times of crisis, should I look brilliant or keep low-key?

Karl: Dual nature is better than non-personality. It is good to feel like split personality.It proved that you have enough characters to split into two though you do not fully show which side of you are more interesting. Do not mention financial crisis any more. Think about what need to be changed in your life.  One has to keep improving to stand out in red carpet. You are not a star, so it is enough if you feel great in the carpet you are standing.

A Subtle Touch of Luxury here continues to post 11 lifetime lessons from Karl Lagerfeld :

Lesson 4: Glorious patters and bright colors are is simply continuation of  last summer.

Ask: I am narcissistic in nature but I also love the Spring-Summer Bright Colors Collection. Is possible to wear in an implicit way?

Karl: From view of fashion trends, glorious pattens and bright colors just continue the style of last summer. They are not pleasing in cities as they easily bring aesthetic fatigue . If you are narcissistic, better choose other styles. If you really love them, wait and dress up in festivals.

Lesson5：If you are short, ultra-high heels is not suitable for you as they make you loose proper proportion.

Ask: I want a pair of very high heels to parties. But I am afraid that I could not walk straight after drinking wine.The models also fall down sometimes, right?

Karl: This question is so naive. Do not drink if you wear high heels. Do not tell me that you will try at home whether you can walk straight after getting drunk. What is more, you are not a model. Life is not a fashion show. Why it is easy to fall down at shows?- Because the models wear semi-finished products. For example, Naomi Campbell fell down at the Vivienene Westwood. Though those heels at shops are relatively safe finished products, it is no necessary to wear ultra-high heels. If you are a short girl, ultra-high heels will make you loose proper proportion and look strange. The taller a woman is, the more beautiful she look with a ultra-high heels. But it is a pity that man does like to walk beside a female giant.

Lesson 6： Wear what you have confidence in and throw what you have doubts about.

Ask: I do not know how to wear the popular lacing binding dress well? I feel like a  S&M heroine in that dress.

Karl: In this case, you should throw it. You have lots of choices in the season. Why wear like a S&M heroine when you are not.What is more, you will  look more ridiculous if you do not play practical. I will never make woman a permanent sexual alarm. In a word, do not wear the model you have no confidence in. If you want to play roles, you may choose the one right for you.

Lesson7：If you are not 100% sure that it is the right dress for you, you will loose good shape in it.

Ask: I love those transparent clothes, but I am not an exhibitionist. How to wear transparent in a safe way while keeping the transparent feel?

Karl: It is very easy. You can buy a  incarnadine tight suit everywhere. But why wear like a dancer in adult club when you want to look prim. Why not try some simple and elegant dresses? Again, if you are not 100% sure that that it the right for you, you will have bad shape.
