People don't talk to you properly. It's the way they talk to you; they dismiss you. I think it's a combination of me being a woman and a foreigner.

All the privileged can travel, see different worlds, not everyone can. I think it is important for people to have an interesting locale nearby.

I can't focus when there's too many things around. Whenever I used to go to the office, I used to always say, 'Tidy up.'

You have to really believe not only in yourself; you have to believe that the world is actually worth your sacrifices.

I don't like the masculine style, jeans. I like issey miyake... and black dresses.

I don't use the computer. I do sketches, very quickly, often more than 100 on the same formal research.

It would be very interesting to design objects for everyday life, something where the ideas that are expressed can be launched into society.
