Clothing is the closest thing to all humans.
From Issey Miyake
All of my work stems from the simplest of ideas that go back to the earliest civilizations: making clothing from one piece of cloth. It is my touchstone.
I believe that all forms of creativity are related.
A few of the influences on my career so far have been Isamu Noguchi, Irving Penn, and seeing the riots of 1968 in Paris.
My fascination has been the space between cloth and the body, and using a two-dimensional element to clothe a three-dimensional form.
Design is a vital component to the enrichment of our everyday lives. Japan has a very rich history and culture of design, and I feel it is a very important dialogue to open and keep evolving.
Retire? Never! We are far too busy!
Function alone does not make clothing appealing.
