Well, What I'm Doing Is Really Clothing.

I Have Always Been Interested In Conducting Research That Yielded New Methods By Which To Make Cloth, And In Developing New Materials That Combine Craftsmanship And New Technology. But The Most Important Thing For Me Is To Show That, Ultimately, Technology Is Not The Most Important Tool; It Is Our Brains, Our Thoughts, Our Hands, Our Bodies, Which Express The Most Essential Things.

I Did Not Want To Be Labelled The Designer Who Survived The Atomic Bomb, And Therefore I Have Always Avoided Questions About Hiroshima.

The Purpose - Where I Start - Is The Idea Of Use. It Is Not Recycling, It's Reuse.

Work For Money, Design For Love.

I Was Always Interested In Making Clothing That Is Worn By People In The Real World.
