Is this a precise description? < /p >

< p > Jil

Sander: there is a distinct difference here: ballet dancers use limbs to show themselves, and I am happy to stay behind the scenes.

But what I agree with is that we try to make the beautiful appearance look simple and elegant, and then encourage others to have such beauty in their own way.

< /p >

< p > your personal creed is personality first? In other words, clothing is used to shape people's character, highlighting their different essence, rather than imposing clothes on them.

< /p >

It's more accurate than P.

< /p >

< p > you come from a country advocating "less is more". Is your view influenced by the German "follow the function of nature" in essence? < /p >

< p > of course.

In Germany, as in Japan, the feudal system lasted for a long time, and there was hardly any handicraftsman's feet.

< /p >

< p > because you have close ties with Italy and Japan because of your work, which country is more suitable for you? Or is it someone who works together? < /p >

P, I think I am closer to Italy.

At first, Japan meant a cultural shock to me.

I need to get used to something more complicated, such as implicit expression.

But from a professional point of view, I feel as if I were at home.

Japan has great respect for quality and innovation, for example, Uniqlo quickly adapted to changing needs.

In Italy, many luxury goods are family businesses.

But Uniqlo will allow me to operate on a larger scale, which is a greater responsibility but also an opportunity.

In the long run, I would like to draw the essence of the fashion culture of both countries.

< /p >

< p > What do you think of "fast fashion"? You usually do something really valuable, but now almost all the fashion industry in the world is aiming at fast fashion. That is to say, whether clothes or handbags are sold for only one season, can you change the situation by making some cheap clothes that are fashionable for longer life? < /p >

< p > even if it is a classic cut, it will be redefined again and again in order to look fresh and fashionable. I don't want to run against the trend.

I want to end my own design series and turn it into an acceptable concept or logical evolution.

< /p >

< p > you have never done retro costumes.

Although your educational and cultural background is very extensive, do you think your idea is following the Bauhaus movement, or Russian constructivism and former artists? < /p >

< p > mainly Bauhaus's architectural design influenced me, but I think it's not just me.

In a more general sense, I agree with the art of all ages.

I find that there are similarities in aesthetic principles of different ages, such as the perception of proportions and symmetry, and the input of technology.

< /p >

< p > what else do you like besides work? Do you like traveling? Communicating with artists? Theatre, music, movies, books, /p

< p > I have always loved art very much.

I often go to art fairs and galleries, occasionally collecting some impressive contemporary art works.

Reading is also necessary, as long as time permits.
