I'd rather [the collection] have no title. Journalists like titles. That's why I give them to you.

The more people that are afraid when they see new creation, the happier I am. I think the media has some responsibility to bear for people becoming more conservative. Many parts of the media have created the situation where uninteresting fashion can thrive.

I can't become naked for everybody. It's never going to be possible for the person to write the whole story completely, so I find bits of myself, bits of what I think in some articles. And I don't give lip service to journalists. I never make them feel comfortable. I say, "It's your job to make the story."

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

I work in three shades of black.

What's good about many people liking the work is that when I want to collaborate or am interested in the synergy of artists working together, nobody ever says no to me when I ask to work with them.

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