“He did everything before anyone else, and everybody has copied him,” the Paris stylist and editor Marie-Amélie Sauve said in The New York Times Magazine in 2005
"Mr. Simons was born on Jan. 12, 1968, in a Belgian village near the German border, where his father had served in the military. He studied industrial design at a university in Genk. While taking an internship with the fashion designer Walter Van Beirendonck in Antwerp, he began to think about clothing design. "
"Although his early collections seemed dark and forbiddingly cool, Mr. Simons’s perspective is essentially that of a romantic. He sees things simply and directly, but from a distance. " (http://topics.nytimes.com/topics/reference/timestopics/people/s/raf_simons/index.html)
""I don't want to show clothes, I want to show my attitude, my past, present and future. I use memories and future visions and try to place them in today's world."
