And then I realized this is how people saw my work. I didn't consciously plan it while drawing the prints. We do have textile designers, but I create the initial designs. 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.
