HELMUT LANG

I have always been interested in materials and in transforming them.

If you really have your own identity you'll keep on doing what you think is really right for you, and you'll also understand the next step you want to take.

Once I'm committed, I'm unafraid of the outcome.

In the end, I do think it's insulting to men and women to insist that they fit a certain profile. I never understood that.

In the fashion world if you're successful, everyone loves you, and you have available every service. It's hard to walk away, except it wasn't hard for me. I had my mind completely made up.

If something is good, it doesn't go out of style every six months. The fashion wheel of today doesn't have to go as quickly as it was pushed in the 80's.

I've never been interested in the event when I'm the center of attention.

I have a lot of insecurities, but you learn from your failures.

I don't think I'm the one that invented glamour at all.

I have been asked to collaborate with fashion houses using my artwork, which I will probably do.

Once I'm committed, I'm unafraid of the outcome.

To grow up under really simple circumstances, and to understand that certain things were ornamental... that made an impression on me as a child and is something I use.

I'm really bad at describing my own life.

The media is looking every season for a designer to tell a story. I have a long story I have to tell, continuing fluently year after year.
