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. Raf Simons beautykindlove Change image and share on social
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.

My whole life, I've always had to be surrounded by creative things. I find it relaxing to be in touch with creations by other people. Raf Simons creationcreativefind Change image and share on social

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.

Unlike fashion, art isn't applied. It doesn't have to serve anybody. It doesn't have to be there for any other reason than to give an impression of what the world is about. Raf Simons applyartfashion Change image and share on social
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. Raf Simons antwerpchangedesigner Change image and share on social
In fashion design, you can divide people into two groups. You have people who come with an aesthetic that is there forever, even if it evolves. Then you have people I call 'jumpers.' One season it can be this; the next season it's completely something else. I always knew I am more of a jumper. Raf Simons aestheticcallcompletely share on social
