My energy comes from freedom and a rebellious spirit.

Fashion is something you attach to yourself, put on, and through that interaction the meaning of it is born. Without the wearing of it, it has no meaning, unlike a piece of art. It is fashion because people want to buy it now, because they want to wear it now, today. Fashion is only the right now.

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

Feeling free inside oneself is being free.

Comme des Garcons is a gift to oneself, not something to appeal or to attract the opposite sex

I'd make my whole collection with just one square of fabric. I wouldn't do anything else; everything had to be made from one square. This is just one example.
