“the good design is the one not following absolutely fashion trends”

“Fashion is a double-edged sword; the more fashionable it is, the less timeliness it has. However, the life expectancy of hotel design is usually between seven to ten years. Too fashionable design may be out of date after two years; that is the reason why hotel design prefers to classic elements. (Chen Tao, Chen Tao’s Interior Design Co., Ltd – Hangzhou, China)”

“You are the sun, and I'm the moon. In your shadow I can shine.”

“There's harmony and inner peace to be found in following a moral compass that points in the same direction regardless of fashion or trend.”

“It will all be all right in the end...if it's not all right, it's not the end.”

“If you travel everywhere and find the same elements everywhere, somehow it reduces the value of the place (Curiosity, Tokyo, Japan)”

“I didn't want to be part of some trend. I wasn't doing this for a fashion statement”
