His friends, Kreo owners Didier and Clemence Krzentowski, have lent him the space to showcase the new collection.As such it manages to become the perfect hybrid of ?art and commerce.The famous pleats are replaced by folds and the mass manufactured by the handmade.There is no correlation between the flat shape and its 3D incarnation.Even if it looks like what I have done has become fashionable, fashion to me is like the wind, I like to stay constant.And his Paris apartment is decked out in former RCA graduates' work.Instead the process entails a long period of research into materials, manufacturing techniques and a continuous dialogue between him and his team.After a stint at Guy Laroche and Givenchy, he went to work with Geoffrey Beene in New York before returning to Japan in 1970 to set up his own label.It sounds like a contradiction from someone who has been designing clothes for 40 years and who built Japan's most famous fashion brand in the process.Talk moves on to how to expand on the 132 5 collection.
