Unlike fashion, art isn't applied. It doesn't have to serve anybody. It doesn't have to be there for any other reason than to give an impression of what the world is about.

More quotes by 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
I wanted an idea of the future, a new femininity. I wanted you to feel that you wouldn't quite know where these women were coming from and where they were going to.
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
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 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 find it fascinating to see the fact that women want to buy things that they see on men.
Raf Simons
Sometimes it’s more a matter of collaboration which matters in a collection.
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 not so rock and roll. I'm more techno.
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
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
And even being in the middle of it, at the LVMH group with Dior, there are certain parts of it that I'm just not really in, because it's not in me or my nature. The whole scene around it, the events, the photography ... It's never really been my thing. But I don't take a critical position on people who are very much about that either.
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
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
My whole life, I've always had to be surrounded by creative things. I find it relaxing to be in touch with creations by other people.
Raf Simons
Fashion is such an octopus. You're connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors.
Raf Simons
I'm a designer, and for me, things are always evolving, and such evolution is necessary.
Raf Simons
I dont want to show clothes, I want to show my attitude, my past, present and future. I use memories and future visions and try to place them in todays world.
Raf Simons
I have so much respect for John [Galliano]s technical skill and the fantasy, its just something that I dont find relevant now, especially when it restricts a woman, because in every other area they have so much freedom.
Raf Simons
My mother was a cleaning lady all her life.
