"Fashion to me is not art because it is only valid if it is lived in and worn. I make clothes and bags and shoes for people to use, not to put up on a wall and look at. I think clothes in a museum are complete death." (Marc Jacobs)
"A work of art is an object which exists as such only by virtue of the collective belief which knows and acknowledges it as a work of art." (Pierre Bourdieu)
