"[For my autumn/winter 2012-13 collection] I had the idea to try to design without designing, using the simplest techniques. I worked on the theme of two dimensions. Often the simplest thing is the hardest but most powerful." - Rei Kawakubo, 2012
"The rule was to ignore the human body. The human body is three-dimensional, so [I] worked totally on the flat two- dimensional plane to try to find something new which ignored the body." - Rei Kawakubo, 2013
