![<b/>On whether their ideas come from a collective subconscious</b><p>"I prefer they always come from a collective subconscious. "I like to not only think that is something that I only feel because then it would feel already not right to me." - Raf Simons. <p>"For me this is a fundamental issue. I was want to propose something meaningful to people, because there are so many [brands]. You have to be connected to people - from what you read, from what you learn, from what you discuss. The more you are connected in reality with the world, the more your job is interesting." - Miuccia Prada. <p>Photo / Supplied](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/resizer/v2/JNJGMQOAIM4HME7GF2WNNRQFRI.jpg?auth=bf5430fb45083e2cc750a5b5e42e57190f0bd7dec889959336503cce34cd300b&width=16&height=24&quality=70&smart=true)
![<b/>On fashion's obsession with the 'new'</b><p>"New is the nightmare of every single designer, probably. Or at least it was always for me. “New” is not so relevant anymore." <p>"In [the time of] Corona, everybody has to express the deep thoughts of a person, of a brand. And so the new just for the sake of doing new, doesn’t sound like the most important work."<p> - Miuccia Prada. <P>Photo / Supplied](https://www.nzherald.co.nz/resizer/v2/CE43XGXGPTSGVOIED3KBZRS5YM.jpg?auth=c431933413aa7018af3b45fb6497e511de6225c361d5cf42d742a9ec5bc96966&width=16&height=24&quality=70&smart=true)
