You’ve built one of the most influential retail empires out there, where did you begin?
My first job was at Suzuya, I began on the floor then worked as a buyer. Â It was one of the most successful Japanese retail chains during the 70s. Â This all led to my current position as co-owner of United Arrows.
Has this influenced the way you experiment with clothing?
I always play when getting dressed, which really depends on my inspiration; one day I may be an 80’s musician in London, another day I’m a preppy Italian guy. When I followed the glam rock style I wore a bleached out denim jacket with fake snakeskin on the sleeve.
