Art history and fashion are closely related – even though I don’t see fashion as an art in its own right. It cannot be an art, because art is made to last and embody a certain moment in history. Fashion does represent a certain moment but I don’t think it uses it to create a philosophy; the shock is emotional, whereas every painting or every installation makes us think. Fashion doesn’t, because it’s superficial. Then, history is very closely related to fashion as well: when things get bad, either people overdress and wear jewels, or minimalism returns.

Don’t rush: what is really important always finds a way of revealing itself.

When it comes to relationships, people are always so scared of the what-if’s that they forget what is. They spend so much time thinking, “What if I get hurt?” and “What if it doesn’t work out?” that they stop thinking about things that are already real. They forget the feeling they get when the person they love walks into the room and the excitement that rushes through them when the phone rings cause it might be the person they are hoping to hear from. Never let the fear of what-if stop you from letting yourself take a chance on love … because what if this is the person you’re destined to spend the rest of your life with?
