I guess those drawings resembled Monet's work, even though it wasn't intentional. I don't always include flower prints in my collections. Western designers have a longer history. Their designs are three-dimensional and more symmetrical. Our body types are different, which is reflected in our designs.
Japanese women are flatter.
We perceive clothing differently because of our histories and experiences. Our style came out of the kimono. It didn't emerge in Europe until the 1950s. But I think the European designers have a rich historical background, especially in the way they sew, cut and embroider. By comparison, Japanese designers are in a way still shallow.
