Until I was eighteen, I did not know that you could study fashion design or art. I really didn't know. I already had my nose in the art world; I was already looking at things, but I didn't really get it that you could study that because my school was a very different environment.

I don't have so many things in the fashion world that interest me. It's probably because I am so deeply into it. Often when you go very deep into something, you also discover what it's about, and you understand it better. With the art world, I still have a lot of curiosity.

People who don't know me look at my world as something very hard-core, and I don't feel it that way. It's not what attracts me. Raf Simons attractcorefeel Change image and share on social

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. Raf Simons analyzeattitudecode share on social
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. Raf Simons behaviourclothecombine share on social
Our society wants things to grow, and our society wants things to become bigger and bigger. Everything has to be put under the spotlight. Raf Simons biggrowput Change image and share on social

I couldn't go now to a brand that had a niche attitude like... gothic. I couldn't do that. Well, I could do it, but I wouldn't find it interesting, challenging. Raf Simons attitudebrandchallenge Change image and share on social
