Daring to wear something different takes effort.

I'm not interested in how people dress. Of course, I recognize if somebody's elegant. But fashion doesn't interest me.

One's life and passion may be elsewhere, but New York is where you prove if what you think in theory makes sense in life.

What you wear represents you to the world, especially now, when communication between people is so fast. Fashion is a universal language that everyone understands.

I always have this idea to create and display activities somewhere else around the world, but in fact it's been very difficult since the start, as you have to find the right place that can represent, or could be as significant as, your ideals. It rarely happens.

Prada is something that should be so mundane, like clothes.

I’ve never wanted to be called an artist. The term itself seems old-fashioned. It’s a term that does not relate to modern times. And it’s too confining. What I love about fashion is its accessibility and its democracy. Everyone wears it, and everyone relates to it.

If I have done anything, it is to make ugly appealing. In fact, most of my work is concerned with destroying—or at least deconstructing—conventional ideas of beauty, of the generic appeal of the beautiful, glamorous, bourgeois woman. Fashion fosters clichés of beauty, but I want to tear them apart.
