In my opinion, Christian Dior was never, ever theatre.

I always try to connect with what's happening in the world-reality, modernity, the 21st century, all that - and with Jil it started to feel very disconnected from the outside and how women were looking at fashion, experiencing fashion, interpreting fashion.

I'm usually very attracted to things that I can't define. If something's too clear, it's very often not inspiring to me anymore.

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

I see my position in that whole Dior construction very differently from my own brand. My own brand will stand or fall because of me. Dior won't fall if I fall. It will also still stand if I'm not there. I'm coming in there and it's like a - I don't know the English word - like a passage.

For me, Warhol made so much sense.

I dont want to show clothes, I want to show my attitude, my past, present and future. I use memories and future visions and try to place them in todays world.
