Polyester is easy to work with and results in clothing that is well suited to the needs of a modern lifestyle.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I always wanted to create clothing that was universal - easy to wear, to care for, and that was also beautiful. As such, I became interested in polyester, and its potential, from the beginning of my career.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
Clothes should fit comfortably - not too tightly - so that you have space to move in and think freely.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
If Mr. Obama could walk across the Peace Bridge in Hiroshima - whose balustrades were designed by the Japanese-American sculptor Isamu Noguchi as a reminder both of his ties to East and West and of what humans do to one another out of hatred - it would be both a real and a symbolic step toward creating a world that knows no fear of nuclear threat.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
Think of things that can be created, not destroyed, and that bring beauty and joy.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I like women who have their own idea of life: the woman who is assured, comfortable with herself, strong inside, proud of herself - not in an arrogant way, not showing off.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
The important thing is to make something. In reality, it's not important that a designer be known by name - you can remain anonymous. Even the status of a designer will undergo changes, I believe.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
In Paris, we call the people who make clothing 'couturiers' - they develop new clothing items - but actually, the work of designing is to make something that works in real life.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I never thought fashion was the job for me, because I'm Japanese. Clothes! That was a European, society thing.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I gravitated towards the field of clothing design, partly because it is a creative format that is modern and optimistic.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
When I first began working in Japan, I had to confront the Japanese people's excessive worship for foreign goods and the fixed idea of what clothes ought to be. I wanted to change the rigid formula of clothing that the Japanese followed.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I am neither a writer nor a theorist. For a person who creates things to utter too many words means to regulate himself - a frightening prospect.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
In the Eighties, Japanese fashion designers brought a new type of creativity; they brought something Europe didn't have. There was a bit of a shock effect, but it probably helped the Europeans wake up to a new value.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
The combination of human skills with technology will always be at the root of any solution to the future of making clothes.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
Our goals must be to find new, environmentally-friendly ways by which to continue the art of creation, to utilize our valuable human skills, and to make things that will bring joy.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
A-POC respects that there is a fine balance between the value of the human touch, which can be called artisanal, and the abilities of technology. I like to think of it as poesy and technology.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
A-POC unleashes the freedom of imagination. It's for people who are curious, who have inner energy - the energy of life and living.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I became a fashion designer to make clothes for the people, not to be a top couturier in the French tradition.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
Frank Gehry not only understood my sense of fun and adventure but also reciprocated it and translated that feeling into his work.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I realised I wanted to make clothing which was as universal as jeans and T-shirts.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
In the past, art was admired and revered from afar. Today, there is more of an interactive relationship between the art and the person who admires it.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
The joining of the Japanese with the French should make a new movement. I think it should be good for Paris.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I respect men and women who age and are proud and don't lose energy. I think fashion forgot those people.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I did not want to be labelled 'the designer who survived the atomic bomb,' and therefore I have always avoided questions about Hiroshima.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I was always interested in making clothing that is worn by people in the real world.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
A great thing happening now in art is that artists are using the figure, the body, clothing, life.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
In fashion, you need to present something new every six months, but it takes time to study things. Development is very important.
Quote by -Issey Miyake
I suppose there are many, but I cannot imagine ever having a more perfect collaboration than that which Penn-san and I shared. It was based upon mutual trust, respect, and a desire to have our own work pushed to new places. And it always resulted in delight.
