Fashion is something that you can attach to yourself, put on, and through that interaction, the meaning of it is born.

Beauty is whatever anyone thinks is beautiful.

It would have more meaning for me to hear what critics have to say if their values and their ways of living were deeper and more serious.

If I do something I think is new, it will be misunderstood, but if people like it, I will be disappointed because I haven't pushed them enough. The more people hate it, maybe the newer it is. Because the fundamental human problem is that people are afraid of change. The place I am always looking for-because in order to keep the business I need to make a little compromise between my values and customers' values-is the place where I make something that could almost-but not quite-be understood by everyone.

Fashion is not art. The aims of fashion and art are different and there is no need to compare them.

I am a clothes maker, and that's all I am. I only want to talk about the making of the clothes. I don't feel the need to go out there and explain that.

Creation takes things forward. Without anything new there is no progress. Creation equals new.
