Unlike fashion, art isn't applied. It doesn't have to serve anybody. It doesn't have to be there for any other reason than to give an impression of what the world is about.
Raf SimonsThe fashion world doesn't know the word stop, so you have to make sure there are sublime moments every day.
Raf SimonsI have so much respect for John [Galliano]s technical skill and the fantasy, its just something that I dont find relevant now, especially when it restricts a woman, because in every other area they have so much freedom.

Raf SimonsIf I see a fashion show with literal influences, it doesn't make me think any more. It doesn't make me dream.
Raf SimonsIn fashion, general people will look to the piece itself. [Some designers] concentrate on, 'How can I make this seam look special?' or 'What am I going to do with that button so it looks interesting?' I am not interested in that. At the moment, I am more interested in the shape and the form. I have a big desire to make clothes without defining them.
