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.

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
Fashion is such an octopus. You're connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors.
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
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
I'm a designer, and for me, things are always evolving, and such evolution is necessary.
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
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
The future, for me, is romantic, I don’t understand people who say the past is romantic. Romantic, for me, is something you don’t know yet, something you can dream about, something unknown and mystical. That I find fascinating.
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 like very much to put on fashion shows.
Raf Simons
Sometimes it’s more a matter of collaboration which matters in a collection.
Raf Simons
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.
Raf Simons
When it's only clothes, that is not satisfying enough for me. I don't think I could do this for 10, 20 years if that was all. It also has to be about a psychology or a mentality or a concept.
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
My mother was a cleaning lady all her life.
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
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
It felt wrong for me to stay totally connected to that very strict way of approaching the heritage - what it can be, what it cannot be. That was also the period where I really thought, No, let's open it up.
Raf Simons
I'm not so rock and roll. I'm more techno.
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.
