He believes that every woman should pay more attention to what she is wearing and that it would be great if women started trying new styles and pieces of clothing.
“I want to see women wear these stockings and transform,” told Ueno.
Having the same style for years and not experimenting is boring according to Ueno and wasting of a life that can be a lot more fun, by simply spicing up a bit your style of clothing.
“I want them to experience the extraordinary- to become otherworldly, artificial or like a doll,” he also said.
