I like the idea of women and men in movement. My fashion is not about being still. It's almost sporty, sometimes. I like the evolution of sports clothes. I think they are very interesting in the cut, in the fabrics.
Nicolas GhesquiereFashion is a playground up until a certain age. But then you have to find your own signature and your own style.
Nicolas GhesquiereYou never do things thinking you will make a big statement. It just happens sometimes and you are lucky.
Nicolas GhesquiereI don't know if that's new, but it has become very official over the past 25 or 30 years - and today it's probably at its most extreme point, where sometimes collections look more like a stylist's work than a designer's signature.
Nicolas GhesquiereIn French we have this word dรฉclic. It's when you have, suddenly, a light shining and you say, "This is what I want to do."
Nicolas GhesquiereI think creating the clothes is about creating historical images - and that's about more than fashion. It is about the fashion, the photography, what you are doing in the moment. It's what we call in French rechercher, or the search for that thing. So even though fashion is not scientific, I think being a designer is somewhat like being a scientist.
