what fashion means to me: I believe that fashion simply shows to the world who I am. personal style is the best way to introduce myself to the world without the use of words. fashion is a form of self-expression.

 I just want to be myself, so I've been finding a lifestyle that's right for me. I come up with the concepts for my design in everyday life. Both expressing myself through my creations and cool designs are important concepts. I don't want to push my ideas on to others. I just want people to use my creations as a tool for self-expression. 

As a designer, I handle everything from concept creation to sketching and sewing. Through this process, my vision comes to life, and the power of individuality and self-expression is clearly reflected in each item.

服は人が着て初めて価値が付く。例えば同じ服を選んで着ても同じ個性は感じれない。服はその人を表すツール。一目見て人は人を判断する。その人が好きな音楽、性格、生き方。服にはそれを表現する力がある。

好きな物を人と共感しようとは思わない。ただ着る人が選び、それで自分を表現するためのツールとして着てもらいたい。

デザイナーとして、私はコンセプトの創作からスケッチ、縫製まで全てを手掛けています。このプロセスを通じて、MASAMI MARUSAWAのビジョンが形となり、個性や自己表現の力がアイテムにしっかりと反映されています。
