The joining of the Japanese with the French should make a new movement. I think it should be good for Paris.
From Issey Miyake
I'd rather look to the future than to the past.
I am not really interested in clothing as a conceptual art form.
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.
There are no boundaries for what can be fabric.
My generation in Japan lived in limbo. We dreamed between two worlds.
I realised I wanted to make clothing which was as universal as jeans and T-shirts.
Frank Gehry not only understood my sense of fun and adventure but also reciprocated it and translated that feeling into his work.
Architects always have a feel for time - the generation they live in - as we do, and they are always striving toward boundless adventure.
I became a fashion designer to make clothes for the people, not to be a top couturier in the French tradition.
