Hello Gnat,
How are you? Don't recognize you with your nickname... Refresh me? Anyway, thanks for your comment. It was kind and really lifted up my spirit. I am currently showing my collection in Paris and would love to show and share my ideas with more people.
Take care,
Kyuin

Hello Kyuin,
how are you?
I truly hope you have experienced a successful launch at Pitti with the press interest you mentioned.... ?
it was lovely to meet you and chat very briefly about your work...which I found fascinating and inspiring....
Will SOMEONE ? out there please recognise the true talent that lies behind this young mans creative cutting genius?...Yohji? Miyake? ....Please stand up?
I found Pitti pretty boring, considering it was my first visit...and I am always keen to discover 'something' extraordinary....which usually emerges in the 'new breed' section or equivalent? at any of the regular trade shows
I enjoyed the experience of 'seeing' something completely 'fresh', and 'cleverly crafted'...which is, in my opinion , unique.
the work of Kyuin....in my opinion is outstanding....and most of you with a 'fashion' agenda might argue that i am not qualified to offer such an opinion?
check his work and blog back with your own?
support this artist...it is important he grows wings.
