I've heard some people criticize the show, but we love it. It reminds me why we're designers ourselves. We live to watch this show. It shows people that there's a lot of passion behind this. It's very real. |
In our Kyoto collection, I think (people) thought we were going to come up with really over the top, crazy looks, but instead we found the designs almost shaped themselves into traditional-feeling pieces. |
The fabric is so elegant that you almost can't demystify the beauty of it -- the patterns just bounce off the fabrics. When we were cutting into the fabrics it was like a guilty pleasure, just knowing the intensity of the work. |
