Design is not for philosophy it's for life.

Even when I work with computers, with high technology, I always try to put in the touch of the hand.

The purpose - where I start - is the idea of use. It is not recycling, it's reuse.

My fascination has been the space between cloth and the body, and using a two-dimensional element to clothe a three-dimensional form.

I started to work with cotton fabrics. I used cotton because it's easy to work with, to wash, to take care of, to wear if it's warm or cold. It's great. That was the start.

I'd rather look to the future than to the past.

We yearn for the beautiful, the unknown, and the mysterious.

Clothing has been called intimate architecture. We want to go beyond that.

Many people will say, well, clothes should be worn; but I think people can look at them in public, like seeing a film. I think museum exhibitions are very important.
