I have always been interested in conducting research that yielded new methods by which to make cloth, and in developing new materials that combine craftsmanship and new technology. But the most important thing for me is to show that, ultimately, technology is not the most important tool; it is our brains, our thoughts, our hands, our bodies, which express the most essential things.

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

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

Work for money, design for love.

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

Many people will say, well, clothes should be worn; but I think people can look at them in public, like seeing a film. I think museum exhibitions are very important
