Fashion is such an octopus. You're connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors.

More quotes by Raf Simons
L.A. interests me, the whole band scene and relaxed carefree feel, but it does not mean you have to dress like a hippy.
Raf Simons
Both costume and fashion are about telling a story, except that in a ballet the story has already been written by the composer or the librettist.
Raf Simons
Robert Gober, for example. He doesn't seem like somebody who is just going to show in a gallery that asks him to show. He's just making his work, and when he's ready, he's going to show it.
Raf Simons
I'm usually very attracted to things that I can't define. If something's too clear, it's very often not inspiring to me anymore.
Raf Simons
The Dior heritage is so broad. It has a strong presence in the work. So, when people have to define it quickly, it's, like, the Bar jacket and the movement and the luxury and the Belle Époque and so much more.
Raf Simons
Sometimes it’s more a matter of collaboration which matters in a collection.
Raf Simons
Becoming a fashion designer is agreeing with the fact that what you experience or what you see as free is also connected to a system. Does that mean giving up your freedom? I still don't know the answer. There's a very different kind of psychology going on in the fashion scene than in art.
Raf Simons
Camouflage is about much more than concealment and going unnoticed. There's a whole game involved between revealing and hiding.
Raf Simons
I've always seen myself as a small entity, and it will always stay like that. I'm not changing. But I think the big challenge for me taking on the Dior thing is to see how I can connect that to such a huge institution.
Raf Simons
You do what you do. Or you do what you have to do. I don't know how to explain it better. I think that in the moment, you can't see connections, but sometimes afterwards you do.
Raf Simons
I'm not so rock and roll. I'm more techno.
Raf Simons
I'm a designer, and for me, things are always evolving, and such evolution is necessary.
Raf Simons
I always try to connect with what's happening in the world-reality, modernity, the 21st century, all that - and with Jil it started to feel very disconnected from the outside and how women were looking at fashion, experiencing fashion, interpreting fashion.
Raf Simons
I never really have to sit at a desk thinking, What should I do now? It doesn't work like that for me, and it never has. My thinking process is constant. The difference is that once I was in Antwerp only doing two men's shows a year. And the weird thing is I thought I was busy then.
Raf Simons
I see my position in that whole Dior construction very differently from my own brand. My own brand will stand or fall because of me. Dior won't fall if I fall. It will also still stand if I'm not there. I'm coming in there and it's like a - I don't know the English word - like a passage.
Raf Simons
We are very excited to re-launch the collaboration with Fred Perry. We have great appreciation for the heritage of the brand as well as their dynamism in guiding the brand towards the future. Their openness to create synergies between both our brands will bring interesting, creative results.
Raf Simons
My aim is a very modern Dior, but at the end of the day, I also look back.
Raf Simons
I find it fascinating to see the fact that women want to buy things that they see on men.
Raf Simons
I like very much to put on fashion shows.
Raf Simons
My mother was a cleaning lady all her life.
