From The Beginning I Thought About Working

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

I Started To Work With Cotton Fabrics. I Used Cotton Because It's Easy To Work With, To Wash, To Take Care Of, To Wear If It's Warm Or Cold. It's Great. That Was The Start.

One Of My Assistants Found This Old German Machine. It Was Originally Used To Make Underwear. Like Chanel, Who Started With Underwear Fabric - Jerseys - We Used The Machine That Made Underwear To Make Something Else

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