Mending clothes with patches and stitches have a special place in my heart. It makes me happy to see people exciting to wear clothes despite them being mended. It makes the person who original made the garment happy. I have the honor of silently connecting wearer and creator with the movement of my needle.
-Kaoru Yokoo, “Mending“
お直ししてでも着たい服があるというのは幸せなことだ。
お直ししてでも着たいと思わせる服をつくった人もまた幸せだ。
ひっそりとその間をつなぐ 名誉な仕事をあたしはしている。
ーー横尾香央留さんの『お直しとか』より
