I Believe I Am a Simple Person with Big Aspirations

──What are the sources of your creativity?

Living each moment is the source of my creativity. I draw power from encounters with people, music, my dreams, and the events that unfold, including spiritual circumstances.

──What does "originality" mean to you?

I feel originality when I discover something beautiful in people, places, museums, or romantic park streets. I believe I am a simple person with big aspirations. It's very enjoyable when the factory understands my originality and can create exactly what I envision.

──What are the most interesting and most difficult aspects of jewelry design?

I don't find design difficult. I work with a wonderful team.

──Does your hometown, New York, influence your designs?

Yes. And I am grateful to my mother, who pushed me to become a designer. I recall running away from home to pursue art on the streets of NYC, and later working with Andy and his factory. I believe my hometown greatly influenced me to become who I am today as "Justin Davis."


──You are currently based in Japan; what is the reason for this?

Japan is a wonderful country. I am captivated by its people, culture, and fashion. Japan is my home.

──What people, things, or events are most influential to you right now?

Recently, I've had many opportunities to work with my close friend Yohji Yamamoto, and looking through his archives is particularly inspiring among the various styles I've seen in the past. Also, traveling to Paris and London has greatly influenced me as I see the world.

──Could you tell us about some of your most memorable designs to date?

All of them are memorable designs. The Biba Superstar Pendant, the key pendant from the collaboration with Kiyoharu, and the Crest Pendant are among my favorites. Furthermore, FORJUSTIN is a line I look forward to.

──Do you have a message for your fans?

My fans are my friends. I remain sincere to those who are sincere to me. I am very happy that people of all ages wear my designs, from the young to the elderly. I look forward to seeing you all soon.
