Raf Simons Quotes

You cannot have adoration without being criticized Picture Quote #1

Dress codes and gestures and attitudes have always inspired me, as has youth culture in general, although now I question it more. If you analyze youth cultures over history, there has always been something strict about them - you have to be like this or like that Picture Quote #1

My point of view is that if I love a certain kind of beauty, I want more of that beauty. I don’t need 200 different beauties Picture Quote #1

I want to get away from couture just being done for a picture or for a single moment on the red carpet. I want to try and convince women that couture can be worn in the day and that there’s a reality and relevance there, because that’s what Mr. Christian Dior wanted Picture Quote #1

Every weekend, I’m on the highway to Antwerp. I need to be there, to have the calm. It’s a whole different life: I jump on my bike, and it’s so small, I can be anywhere in a minute. I like to be at home when there’s free time because when you’re at a big company, you’re constantly surrounded by 30 people Picture Quote #1

Berlin is in a state of transition. There are lots of people who don’t stay here. They pass through. They might not ‘clean up,’ but they mature. It is a city where people spend a significant time in their lives, and then they move on Picture Quote #1

As an industrial designer, you design the thing by yourself, and then it goes away from you, whereas fashion is in constant relation to the body and to psychology. It makes it more complicated, and it makes it more challenging Picture Quote #1

My inspiration is endless; I can’t define it. It is a constant flow and evolution. In general, I’m taking it from everywhere. People get nervous when they walk with me, as I’ll see something and suddenly have to text it to myself Picture Quote #1

There’s a very different kind of psychology going on in the fashion scene than in art. When artists connect to a system because they want to make a living, it’s their own choice. In fashion, designers don’t have that choice Picture Quote #1

I fantasise about what the future could be in terms of aesthetic and psychology. It’s the most difficult thing to do because you have to start from the past - your favourite architect, your favourite song - you take it all with you Picture Quote #1

My challenge is to find a beautiful balance: to make women beautiful, to make a woman dream to wear a beautiful outfit Picture Quote #1

Fashion is such an octopus. You’re connected to so many people: suppliers, pattern makers, production teams, marketing teams, vendors Picture Quote #1

Antwerp literally was a trash hole, but fashion changed that. The designers there were extreme, and their work was hard to understand. But now, people from all over the world come to Antwerp to shop Picture Quote #1

If I see a fashion show with literal influences, it doesn’t make me think any more. It doesn’t make me dream Picture Quote #1

I see there is a lot of behaviour in men’s fashion, which is systematic. It’s a lot about all these kind of clothes that can be easily combined with each other, and it’s less and less, I think, about making a fashion statement Picture Quote #1

The fashion world doesn’t know the word ‘stop,’ so you have to make sure there are sublime moments every day Picture Quote #1

I’d like to see fashion slow down a bit. What freaks me out about fashion today is the speed - the speed of consuming, the speed of ideas. When fashion moves so fast, it takes away something I always loved, which is the idea that fashion should be slightly elusive. Hard to grasp, hard to find Picture Quote #1

I was growing up in the New Wave period, but that wasn’t allowed in school. I remember moments when they wouldn’t let four people dressed in black stand together on the playground Picture Quote #1

I was raised in a very happy nest by very happy people, and I like to think that those are enough ingredients to make me succeed at Dior Picture Quote #1

We Belgians love when we can go to L.A. because the city is amazing and the climate is fantastic Picture Quote #1

But overall I want to make sure people fall in love with the clothes and that they are satisfied Picture Quote #1

I’m very attracted to things that I can’t define Picture Quote #1

Sometimes it’s more a matter of collaboration which matters in a collection Picture Quote #1

I’m not so rock and roll. I’m more techno Picture Quote #1

I like very much to put on fashion shows Picture Quote #1

My mother was a cleaning lady all her life Picture Quote #1

I’m a designer, and for me, things are always evolving, and such evolution is necessary Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

My ideas for the next collection always happen a couple of months before the show. I have learned to shut up and not bother my assistants with it Picture Quote #1
