I'm very scared sometimes that fashion might attack its own magic by the amount of exposure.

My ideas for the next collection always happen a couple of months before the show. I have learned to shut up and not bother my assistants with it.

I'm a designer, and for me, things are always evolving, and such evolution is necessary.

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

I don't see Dior as something that could become mine. I see it as a dialogue with the women who wear it. I want to stay connected to them rather than to an abstract brand.

Robert Gober, for example. He doesn't seem like somebody who is just going to show in a gallery that asks him to show. He's just making his work, and when he's ready, he's going to show it.

I would prefer to use the word free. I think the Dior thing is so much freer. There was not so much free about Jil's way of working.
