“When you look around now we have the war on terror. Yes, okay, the World Trade Center was sort of like a single act of war, but nothing else has been. We've turned it into war. We're talking about a bunch of semi-lunatic, fanatic criminals. That's the way they should be treated.” WorldWarOkayTradeTerrorWar On TerrorWorld Trade Center Author:Simon Mawer
“I actually am locked away. I think I have 4.6 million Instagram followers, which is obviously a great way to communicate my work and my life. But it's also a form of protection, because I don't want everybody to see my process. What I want to share in the pictures I post is something dreamier than reality. I love solitude. I love escaping into my mind and sketching. Sometimes I travel alone. I'm the first one at the office in the morning, the last one closing the door. People don't expect that, because on Instagram I have a reputation as a party boy who takes selfies all day.” PeopleThinkingMindSometimesRealityPartyBoysMorningShareSolitudeOfficeCommunicateProtectionReputation Author:Olivier Rousteing

“I'm always trying to understand who I want to be, what I want, what I dream of. When I was a kid, I was really worried that my parents were going to bring me back to the orphanage. I was scared of tomorrow, scared that I was going to be abandoned again. So I tried to enjoy every minute of my life because maybe tomorrow wasn't going to happen. I think I live the same way today: scared of tomorrow. For someone who is considered a party boy, a guy who just has fun and drinks champagne, I'm really tortured.” ThinkingTryingDreamKidsTodayGuyFunParentEnjoyPartyBoysTomorrowDrinkScaredWorriedHaving FunAbandonedOrphanage Author:Olivier Rousteing
“You're taught that you need to please magazines, to please the fashion elite, and that if you do everything the right way, everyone is going to love you. But I decided not to follow some of the rules. My girls from the runway were not just models - they were soldiers. They helped me bring my ideas to life. I was talking about sexiness, about diversity, about different shapes of bodies. I was following my instincts and learning that it would not please the fashion elite.

So when you try to show them who you are, to help them discover you, they just want what they think they know about you.

I never regret anything, because every choice I made for a reason, but I'd love personal love.” PeopleThinkingTryingReasonHelpingTodayChoicesDifficultRegretWho You AreOver YouPersonaNever RegretNever Regret Anything Author:Olivier Rousteing
