I am terrible at making food. I love eating, but I can't make anything.

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.

There are so many young designers who need stock, who need my push. With the commerce, the one thing I knew is that I wanted to have things that were affordable. I was always one of those customers that would go to an amazing store and be like, "Um, what's the least expensive thing?"

Having plants and flowers in my space makes me feel very calm and Zen. For me, its important to meditate every morning to be very clear in the head, and nature really helps me do the same thing.

Social networking inspires me a lot and how we are related and connected to each other.

I'm just inspired by different people, friends around me.

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