            In our era, the designers' job is just "sampling" of the past or "remixing" or "remodeling." I like that quote.

                Great! Thanks for bringing this to the top. I wish he could give another interview after these nine years on the today's state. Hopefully, one day SZ could take it.

                  Hmmm, that's a very good idea. Let me look into this.

                      Great read...I've also missed this article in the past...it's still very relevant today...Takeji-Hirakawa is very perceptive and understands what and how fashion is perceived, and marketed!

                      His personal style is very cool too!
