Design Is Not For Philosophy It's For

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

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

Even When I Work With Computers, With High Technology, I Always Try To Put In The Touch Of The Hand.

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.

The Best Fragrance Is The Scent Of Water, The Fragrance Of Dew And Rain Falling On Plants. Water Is The Essential Element, A Source Of Life And Energy. A Perfume That, Like A Garment, Moves To Suit The Woman, Her Skin. A Perfume That Embraces A Woman.
