If I do something I think is new, it will be misunderstood, but if people like it, I will be disappointed because I haven't pushed them enough. The more people hate it, maybe the newer it is. Because the fundamental human problem is that people are afraid of change. The place I am always looking for-because in order to keep the business I need to make a little compromise between my values and customers' values-is the place where I make something that could almost-but not quite-be understood by everyone.

My intention is not to make clothes. My head would be too restricted if I only thought about making clothes.

For me, I haven't succeeded in any way whatsoever.

The idea was not to make a huge business, because the bigger you get, the more restraints I thought I might get. Number one was to do what I set out to do: make new and interesting things within the size of the business that is possible to do without restraints. The second goal was to do the business in order to achieve the first goal. That's what many people don't understand.

Beauty is whatever anyone thinks is beautiful.

In the sense that anarchy equals freedom, yes. Anarchy means freedom, but it also means chaos.

I make clothes for a woman who is not swayed by what her husband thinks.
