Many people repeat the past. I'm not interested. I prefer evolution.
From Issey Miyake
I gravitated towards the field of clothing design, partly because it is a creative format that is modern and optimistic.
I never thought fashion was the job for me, because I'm Japanese. Clothes! That was a European, society thing.
Clothing has been called intimate architecture. We want to go beyond that.
My touchstone started out being - and is still - exploring the ways by which to make clothing from a single piece of cloth.
I am very interested in the culture of paper.
Indian paper is famous, Egyptian papyrus, Chinese paper... every country has used this natural material. But the problem is it's going to run out because it's very difficult work.
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.
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.
I am most interested in people and the human form.
