faithful work
The production must be faithful to the line. If the production fails, my work fails.
man work
I would like to get married, but it must be a man who is part of my work, or me part of his.
became designer exactly knew pencil sketch wear
I was a baby when I began, but I knew exactly what I wanted to wear myself. I became a jewelry designer because I knew how to do something with a pencil and sketch my ideas.
incredibly range wide
I don't have the feeling that I need to add a lot to my collection, because I have an incredibly wide range of things. This is a part of the secret of my things, that they are still valid. When I feel a need, I do something more.
aesthetic design good home house japanese weight
Good design for the home should be universal. A house should be like old shoes, comfortable, like a good friend... The Japanese aesthetic is important to me. Very organic. They have a sense of the weight of the thing: very balanced.
beauty
What I want is not to become a status symbol, but to give beauty at a price.
houses people themselves time
People surround themselves in their houses with things they don't really need, that they have to dust all the time.
time
Most of the time, I'm in the country, and the jewelry I wear I can wear in the country.
yorkshire
I like Yorkshire Tea - very strong and English.
certain degree eliminate excess high
I like to push myself to achieve a certain quality, eliminate the excess detail. I always want a high degree of purity.
dye wear whatever women
I keep my hair gray, so I like silver and platinum. For women who dye their hair, they can wear whatever they want.
perfectly
I hate that impeccable, perfectly perfect look, all matched and prearranged.
I am a bull. I am Taurus. My will is awful. If I like something, there is nothing else. I was a pain in the neck. I still am a pain in the neck.
I always write in pencil, so I can erase.
