I feel like I have become a living fossil in the fashion world. Without even noticing it, in my own collection I have moved away from the street style.

I only see the faults, flaws, the imperfections. That attracts me.

There is also a schedule to fashion - the deadline is always set. So maybe the fashion business is a good business for me in that way because I'm basically lazy, man.

Start copying what you love. Copy copy copy copy. At the end of the copy you will find your self.

I was on a Japanese designers' pedestal - considered a maestro. My design was getting closer to a couturier's work, and I felt like I was missing something.

In order to create an image almost similar to that of a pencil case standing up and walking, I try to eliminate all excess by cutting. I have the feeling that this process (of "cutting off") is linked in some way to "elegance". Elegance and so-called "eliminating excess", or the beauty that remains after excess has beeen eliminated...

I want to achieve anti-fashion through fashion. That's why I'm always heading in my own direction, in parallel to fashion.
