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.

More quotes by Rei Kawakubo
Beauty is whatever anyone thinks is beautiful.
Rei Kawakubo
I am a clothes maker, and that's all I am. I only want to talk about the making of the clothes. I don't feel the need to go out there and explain that.
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
You can tell if it's a good collection if people are afraid of it. In ten years, everyone will love it.
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
If you have total freedom to design, you won't get anything interesting. So I give myself restraints in order to kind of push myself through, to create something new. It's the torture that I give myself, the pain and the struggle that I go through. So it's self-given, but that's the only way, I think, to make a strong, good new creation.
Rei Kawakubo
I work in three shades of black.
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
Feeling free inside oneself is being free.
Rei Kawakubo
There are no limits - I endeavor to make clothes that didn't exist before.
Rei Kawakubo
My energy comes from freedom and a rebellious spirit.
Rei Kawakubo
I am kind of like the guide, the leader of this discussion. It could be from me, it could be from other people, it could be a mixture. It's a real sort of guild. I lead it and direct it and inspire it.
Rei Kawakubo
I haven't yet made clothes that I have been totally satisfied with, and maybe I never will.
Rei Kawakubo
The more people that are afraid when they see new creation, the happier I am.
Rei Kawakubo
I don't think of myself as anyone special, and I would not know how to define myself.
Rei Kawakubo
Most of the things I read from journalists are, you know, a little bit simplified and easy.
Rei Kawakubo
I don't feel too excited about fashion today People just want cheap fast clothes and are happy to look like everyone else
Rei Kawakubo
I can't become naked for everybody. It's never going to be possible for the person to write the whole story completely, so I find bits of myself, bits of what I think in some articles. And I don't give lip service to journalists. I never make them feel comfortable. I say, It's your job to make the story.
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
Creation takes things forward. Without anything new there is no progress. Creation equals new.
