It’s difficult to create fashion, you can’t just learn it, you have to have fashion in your DNA.

I think I was the first to show that a designer could be like a rock star, that people should love your fashion but also put your name together with your fashion.

I want men to be more chic - and Japanese style has that kind of sophisticated elegance.

Sometimes incompetence is useful. It helps you keep an open mind.

Fashion should be something that in the morning, when you open your window, you say, "Oh fantastic, sun!" Then you take your shower, you say, "OK fantastic, which colour I wear today because I feel happy?" This should be fashion.

I really don't understand minimalism. It is so polite and boring. If you don't want anyone to notice you, you should stay home and grow your own vegetables.

What is too much? There is no such thing!
