Jil Sander

"I try as much as possible to give you a great basic product and what comes out, I feel, is really amazing."

"Initially, it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living, three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas."

"I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration."

"It may sound ambitious, but I really hope that modern design will spread all around the globe."
