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.

Clothing doesn’t lie, it shows everything.

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

People have started wasting fashion

A pair of brilliantly cut cotton trousers can be more beautiful than a gorgeous silk gown.

It meant something to me – the idea of a coat guarding and hiding a woman’s body. For me, a woman who is absorbed in her work, who does not care about gaining one’s favor, strong yet subtle at the same time, is essentially more seductive. The more she hides and abandons her femininity, the more it emerges from the very heart of her existence.

I'm going to create a very strong scent which can kill a boy!
