More quotes by Nicolas Ghesquiere
Your priority has to be the creativity - and build a brand. That's what everybody did - Balenciaga, Dior, Saint Laurent. That's the smart thing to do.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I don't know if that's new, but it has become very official over the past 25 or 30 years - and today it's probably at its most extreme point, where sometimes collections look more like a stylist's work than a designer's signature.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
Sometimes you never feel lonelier than when you are always doing tons of things and traveling all over the place. There is a real feeling of loneliness sometimes.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
What I find most interesting in fashion is that it has to reflect our time. You have to witness your own moment.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I'd rather work with someone who likes what I do than create something for the red carpet that won't make me happy.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I've always been fascinated by people's capacity to care. Everyone has a different capacity for it. Some people can take on more and deal with more. Today, with the economy, I have such respect for the hard work that has to be done. But we're on this planet and we have a responsibility to ourselves to care.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
With my designs and my ideas, I want to please myself first. I'm always very stressed about making a new proposition every season. But in a way, it's a kind of addiction. In another way, it's a crazy pressure. I try to stay quiet about the whole situation, because fashion itself can be crazy, and everyone wants a part of you.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I'm the kind of person who, even after a shoot that I've loved, is always moving on. There is no gap.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
You never do things thinking you will make a big statement. It just happens sometimes and you are lucky.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
As designers, we do so much with material and construction. It's really architectural it comes close to building. A scent is so immaterial. It's really about emotion and sensation. Clothes are too, but it's not the same.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I think Rihanna is very interesting. But those people, the singers especially, know how to handle themselves because they're in the limelight. That's why it has grown into something where the model has stepped back - and I don't know if it's coming forward again.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
There is something I think we share, which is, of course, an appreciation for Helmut Lang. I think at a certain point he really changed so many things in fashion. I'm a bit younger than Helmut, but from my point of view he provided a true entrance into this new way of thinking - not being invaded into couture.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
For a long time, my uniform consisted of a trench coat, wide flared jeans, and little bottines - I copied a pair that my mother had in this theater place. I had, like, 10 pairs of the same shoes.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
Strangely, meanness pays more than offering constructive and interesting commentary. Every season I think, This is the last season. I'm not gonna read tomorrow morning. Forget it. The first thing when I wake up - quite late, usually - I am craving the newspaper.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I grew up in such a small city, I had to be popular or I'd be dead. So I had to be popular!
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I put pressure on myself to propose something new - I think it's the minimum that you can do as a fashion designer.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
It's true that fashion is looking at fashion all the time, and this is quite boring.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
Fashion is a playground up until a certain age. But then you have to find your own signature and your own style.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
In French we have this word déclic. It's when you have, suddenly, a light shining and you say, This is what I want to do.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
I like the idea of women and men in movement. My fashion is not about being still. It's almost sporty, sometimes. I like the evolution of sports clothes. I think they are very interesting in the cut, in the fabrics.
