"I don't consider clothes as art, I'm a dressmaker and clothes are not meant to be hung and looked at. I don't think clothes should have that feeling of 'I can't wear this because it's too precious.' In those moments you miss out on all those experiences of your life. I like my clothes to be there when you cry, when you laugh, when you have a silly moment of combustion, when you break-up, when you make-up. It's those experiences that stay with you, that's what my clothes are, they're a good friend." -Philip Lim, i-D, Winter 2009
