A Quote by Zaha Hadid
I have always appreciated designers who dare to reinterpret fabrics and proportions, so I follow the Japanese and Belgian designers. The pieces are so animated. When they lie still, they are one thing, but once you stand them up or wear them, they become something else.

I think that as a playwright, if I detail that environment, then I'm taking away something from them [designers].

There are many design companies, but there are few designers who organize their own business and open it up to other designers.
I cannot draw to save my life, and I'm not a big art scholar, but I worked with many designers throughout my career - in theater, in dance, costume designers, set designers, and I have a lot of artist friends and I do photography, and I think it's kind of in my life.
