More quotes by Rei Kawakubo
I make clothes for a woman who is not swayed by what her husband thinks.
Rei Kawakubo
What you wear can largely govern your feelings and your emotions, and how you look influences the way people regard you. So fashion plays an important role on both the practical level and the aesthetic level of activity.
Rei Kawakubo
I always just wanted to have enough to carry on. I never had ambitions to take over the world or be a global enterprise. But I wanted to have a strong business in order to do the main objective.
Rei Kawakubo
Most of the things I read from journalists are, you know, a little bit simplified and easy.
Rei Kawakubo
In Comme des Garçons, I hardly do any sketches there's no fittings on bodies, there's no models that come in and say, Oh, a little bit like this. In the beginning, there isn't even a theme. It's like getting the whole world at your feet - to empty your mind of everything that's ever happened before, to get an empty space.
Rei Kawakubo
There are no limits - I endeavor to make clothes that didn't exist before.
Rei Kawakubo
Celebrity doesn't really affect the work. What affects the work is the expectations from the outside. This is what no one understands.
Rei Kawakubo
You can tell if it's a good collection if people are afraid of it. In ten years, everyone will love it.
Rei Kawakubo
It would have more meaning for me to hear what critics have to say if their values and their ways of living were deeper and more serious.
Rei Kawakubo
For me, creation can only come out of a certain kind of unhappiness. They say in Japan, this thing like the hungry spirit - the hungry mind - is what gets you going forward.
Rei Kawakubo
I'd make my whole collection with just one square of fabric. I wouldn't do anything else everything had to be made from one square. This is just one example.
Rei Kawakubo
Fashion is not art. The aims of fashion and art are different and there is no need to compare them.
Rei Kawakubo
The more people that are afraid when they see new creation, the happier I am.
Rei Kawakubo
I'd rather [the collection] have no title. Journalists like titles. That's why I give them to you.
Rei Kawakubo
I've always said that growing up in postwar Japan, I never felt any connection to my work through those experiences. The work I do really comes from inside myself. For me, being born in Japan was an accident.
Rei Kawakubo
For something to be beautiful it doesn’t have to be pretty.
Rei Kawakubo
I haven't yet made clothes that I have been totally satisfied with, and maybe I never will.
Rei Kawakubo
I work in three shades of black.
Rei Kawakubo
In the sense that anarchy equals freedom, yes. Anarchy means freedom, but it also means chaos.
Rei Kawakubo
In the '70s, if anything, it was a more interesting time in fashion. It was a time when things were changing, especially in London.
