From the beginning I thought about working with the body in movement, the space between the body and clothes. I wanted the clothes to move when people moved. The clothes are also for people to dance or laugh

By the way, Marilyn Monroe was a size 14.

Work for money, design for love.

I was always interested in making clothing that is worn by people in the real world.

I very much like dance and dancers.

I did not want to be labelled the designer who survived the atomic bomb, and therefore I have always avoided questions about Hiroshima.

I have worked with several dance companies.
