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.
Raf Simons
The fashion thing is something I do, and yes, it is definitely also becoming a part of myself and my personality. It also doesn’t really feel like a job, either: it’s a dream or a passion or something.

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.
Raf Simons

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.
