So when it came to swimming, there are so many clothing brands out there, but I felt that there was still a deep blue ocean left to explore.” There are outdoor, running and yoga brands that release clothing that can be worn as street wear, but there are no swimwear brands that have developed clothing in the street wear category. So I decided that if I was going to start it, I wanted to target people for whom swimming was a lifestyle. After meeting them in person, I decided that I wanted to start my own brand. When I started competing in the Olympics, I wanted to get to know the designers and artists that I was looking at in magazines on a personal basis, so I started contacting them directly. I wanted to find out for myself what a brand’s philosophy and clothes were, I would ask myself questions such as ‘Why do I like this brand?’ and ‘Why am I wearing this?’ But as I was becoming a professional swimmer, I began to like Maisons and high-end fashion as well. I’d enter the shop, heart pounding in my chest and buy an XL t-shirt straight off the shelf. Around 2005, when I was 14 or 15 years old, I would hop on the train and get off at Harajuku or Meiji Jingumae and go to shops like FAT or realmadHECTIC.
