I used to design for my body, which was flat-chested with big hips. That's why my clothes were tight on top with full skirts.

We have no general conceptual thrust for the band, other than trying to make music that keeps our interest. When things are novel, they are probably things we have discovered by accident or investigation rather than by design.

Initially, it was the unpractical in fashion that brought me to design my own line. I felt that it was much more attractive to cut clothes with respect for the living, three-dimensional body rather than to cover the body with decorative ideas.

I think there is always a need for pure design. With pure design, you don't need so much decoration.

It may sound ambitious, but I really hope that modern design will spread all around the globe.
