Zitat des Tages von Tadashi Shoji:
Time flies so quick. I remember my second year in business when Bullocks Wilshire did a whole window of my white dresses. I was so excited, I went there at night and took pictures.
So many designers only sketch and leave pattern-making to others. Pattern-making is important so you know the structure. Then if someone tells me, 'I can't make a pattern from that sketch,' I can tell them, 'I will make it' and then they are quiet. If I can't make it, I don't design it.
My brother told me he was very proud of me, of the business I have built, and that gives me joy.
As I get older, I find that wearing bright colors cheers me up.
I like quiet. No television cameras. I'm not the Hollywood type.
I do not discriminate about size. I design dresses to accentuate a woman's positives, whether you are a size 0 or a size 3X.
There's almost a T-shirt feeling to wearing my evening dresses.
I design to make women feel confident and beautiful.
Everyone thinks the fashion business is so glamorous. It's completely the opposite.
Am I famous in Japan? I don't know, and I don't really think of myself in that way.
