"The word 'graphic' originally means to 'carve or draw a visual shape.' For a designer, graphic means carving one's thoughts on a garment. There are times when I paint geometric shapes with a brush, but at other times I combine different fabrics as if composing a picture. The results are generally modern looking and calculated. That was my first impression of the city of Stockholm, for Sweden is a country where even the rubbish bins on the street are carefully designed. I perceived such calculation to be the source of the sense of balance in the city, in much the same way that carefully adding different graphics to a garment can create overall harmony, notwithstanding the benefit of being natural."
