I don't find it difficult anymore, because these days, Raf is only men and Dior is only women. I found it much more complicated when I was doing Jil Sander for men and women. It wasn't that it was the same, but I'm specific about where I want to go, and when you suddenly have to do two men's collections in the same moment, that was more difficult.

I'm not an isolated person. The more I connect to people, the more I have the feeling that things work.

My own show with Sterling Ruby, for example, seems like such a huge disconnection from Dior couture, but then I think, yeah, in both collections there was a very strong focus on the human hand and the actual work of people making garments. So in that sense, they were completely related. But I didn't realize that during the process.

I find it fascinating to see the fact that women want to buy things that they see on men.

The fashion world doesn't know the word stop, so you have to make sure there are sublime moments every day.

I 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.

Camouflage is about much more than concealment and going unnoticed. There's a whole game involved between revealing and hiding.
