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.

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?"

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.

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

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.

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