Let me just put it that way: I work really hard and play really hard too.

Uniqlo as a company has always developed new fabrics and is always trying to be innovative. The design is simple, so the fabric is important.

My uniform is usually just comfortable clothing. Being a stylist, you spend most of the day at photo shoots covered in safety pins.

I'm not an elitist. I hate the fashion industry sometimes because it becomes so focused on the elite.

I was born in Japan, so for me, Uniqlo is a family brand. My granny used to wear Uniqlo. And my Italian dad wore Uniqlo. I wore Uniqlo, of course.

I think when you start talking about money, it stops the whole creative process for me.

I'm half-Japanese, so I collect toys, like a Yayoi Kusama stuffed pumpkin.
