The best fragrance is the scent of water, the fragrance of dew and rain falling on plants. Water is the essential element, a source of life and energy. A perfume that, like a garment, moves to suit the woman, her skin. A perfume that embraces a woman.

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

Design is not for philosophy it's for life.

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

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

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

A great thing happening now in art is that artists are using the figure, the body, clothing, life.
