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.
Let me just put it that way: I work really hard and play really hard too.
Fans don't lie. They just tell you what they really think, and they see details that even people in fashion don't.
I'm half-Japanese, so I collect toys, like a Yayoi Kusama stuffed pumpkin.
I'm not a designer, I'm a creator.
I love meeting people, and I know it's so difficult for people to come up to me and introduce themselves, so when they do, I'll grab them and hug them. It makes their day, you know? I love that, and I get positive energy from that.
