I have always been a fan of Japanese design, namely; Rei Kawakubo of Commes des Garcons, Yohji Yamamoto and Issey Miyake. As a pattern maker, I find the cuts and technical precision of their work architecturally mind blowing! I dream of being such an artist! When I visited Commes des Garcons in Paris in 2005, Junya Watanabe's work really spoke to me... I could barely pick my jaw up off the floor! I love that he is shy and completely closed off from the trappings of the fashion set. He loves "old things, broken things... things that are incomplete". He only sees the imperfections in things... "not that they're a failure but that they can be done better"... a statement with resonance for me!
