With my eyes turned to the past, I walk backwards into the future.
Fashion is only complete when it is worn by ordinary people who exist now, managing their lives, loving and grieving.
Dirty, stained, withered, broken things seem beautiful to me.
Just listen to the material. What is it going to say? Just wait. Probably the material will tell you something.
Adidas is a very personal inspiration to me. It has enriched my creative life. It’s an exchange between different cultures, different ideas, and most of all, it is teamwork.
Clothing doesn’t lie, it shows everything.
I’m going to create a very strong scent which can kill a boy!
To be modern is to tear the soul out of every thing.
I have no imagination about holidays, vacations, or retiring life. I can’t imagine about those things.
If you feel strongly about someone, go up to them. Pursue what you want in life. Why be shy about something like that?
People have started wasting fashion.
I feel like I have become a living fossil in the fashion world. Without even noticing it, in my own collection I have moved away from the street style.
There is also a schedule to fashion – the deadline is always set. So maybe the fashion business is a good business for me in that way because I’m basically lazy, man.
The best moments in my life are just before going to bed. Those are my happiest moments.
I always want to have a new challenge involved. I need to put myself to the test, and if I make mistakes, it doesn’t matter. What matters to me, instead, is making my dreams come true and putting them on display.
I only see the faults, flaws, the imperfections. That attracts me.
The more we possess, the more distant we grow from God.
I don’t think we should try to make space our own. I believe that as modern people we should live in mobility. We should always be moving.
My whole life is made up of: “I’m sorry”. I feel like I have to apologize to people, to things, to life itself. It’s like, “I’m sorry to be here”. I don’t want to disturb anyone. But in my work, in the clothes I create, I’m actually telling people that I’m here. So, I guess I’m disturbing them, after all.
I am an animal making clothes.
In my philosophy, the word androgyny doesn’t have any meaning. I think there is no difference between men and women. We are different in body, but sense, spirit and soul are the same.
