Jean Paul Gaultier Clothes Quotations

I could say that making clothes is my way of communicating, because I was always so shy.

Clothes are expensive. You have to buy them, and to buy them, you have to believe in them.

The shock of the way I mix patterns and fabrics can be disconcerting, but what I am trying to do is provoke new ideas about how pieces can be put together in different ways. I think this is a more modern way to wear clothes that in themselves are fairly classic.

I know what I am able and not able to do. Fashion? OK. Fashion... clothes in theatre, in an opera, in a concert - all that I love. To make a movie myself... no!

Clothes became my attraction and obsession early. I wasn't so interested in dressing myself because I was not my object of desire.

Dressing is a pleasure; clothes are not a joke.
