More quotes by Nicolas Ghesquiere
Today, kids are much more aware of what fashion means, but when I was growing up, it was popular, but not as popular as today. Like any kid, I was fascinated by drawing. But when some of the kids let go, I kept drawing and drawing.
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
You never do things thinking you will make a big statement. It just happens sometimes and you are lucky.
Nicolas Ghesquiere
First, at a certain point, I wanted to have my own magazine, but I never could. Why? Because I am not commercial enough. The people who would have been able to give me my own magazine, they were not insulting me, but they would simply say, It wouldn't work for you. And that was a big disappointment to me.
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 remember Grace (Coddington) looking at me and said, 'Can you do something?' and I was like, 'OK, how long do you give me?' and she said 'Half an hour?', I said 'Forty-five minutes?'
Nicolas Ghesquiere
Fashion, in a way, has become like pop culture today. With all of the communications and the Internet and the designers doing lines with big brands, it's more popular than it's ever been, but everything is all mixed together. It's become like television or music.
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
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 put pressure on myself to propose something new - I think it's the minimum that you can do as a fashion designer.
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
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
I love what I do and I adore this whole world. I'm able to meet fantastic people. I meet fantastic writers, I meet architects, I meet incredible talent. Fashion is really a world, besides the creation, that I think is super interesting, super inspiring.
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 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
We live with a future where every three or four months, we have to question everything. You think you could be the best, or that you're nothing and you don't know what you're doing. It is exhausting.
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
I do love science-fiction and horror movies.
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 think when a time comes, a change comes, and you have to recognize the change but also believe in yourself.
