I hate fashion. Or the word fashion, which sounds colorful, extravagant, expensive and gorgeous. “I never wanted to walk the main street of fashion. I have been walking the sidewalks of fashion from the beginning, so I’m a bit dark.
I don’t think we should try to make space our own. I believe that as modern people we should live in mobility. We should always be moving.
I always want to have a new challenge involved. I need to put myself to the test, and if I make mistakes, it doesn't matter. What matters to me, instead, is making my dreams come true and putting them on display.
At a certain point, I stopped seeing my clothing worn by people on the streets . . . It seemed like they were being treated as museum items.
A beautiful flower does not exist. There's only a moment when a flower looks beautiful.
There is also a schedule to fashion - the deadline is always set. So maybe the fashion business is a good business for me in that way because I'm basically lazy, man.
Colour disturbs people. I am confident in black, not in light. This dark side of life is attractive to me forever and from the beginning. I am a lazy designer when it comes to colour.
Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy - but mysterious. [...] But above all black says this: 'I don't bother you - don't bother me'
In order to create an image almost similar to that of a pencil case standing up and walking, I try to eliminate all excess by cutting. I have the feeling that this process (of "cutting off") is linked in some way to "elegance".

If you feel strongly about someone, go up to them. Pursue what you want in life. Why be shy about something like that?
Generally speaking, I am not interested in the future and don't believe in it. First, I guess it is true that I don't trust the future, but, more to the point, I don't even trust the "myself" of tomorrow, nor, for that matter, of the day after. Basically, all I know, and all I am capable of understanding, is the "me" that is here, now, the "me" that has dragged his past with him to this point.
Start copying what you love. Copy copy copy copy. At the end of the copy you will find your self.
You can say that designing is quite easy; the difficulty lies in finding a new way to explore beauty
I was on a Japanese designers' pedestal - considered a maestro. My design was getting closer to a couturier's work, and I felt like I was missing something.
I wasnt born with a golden spoon in my mouth. It was a really tough life.
I'm the national champion of Jamaica now, I go into the Olympics like this.
I would like to be a legend, everyone wants to be a legend.
I don't need to scare the other athletes. When I'm running, I will scare them.
