Image
You can say that designing is quite easy the difficulty lies in finding a new way to explore beauty
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
Dirty, stained, withered, broken things seem beautiful to me.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
I think perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
A pair of brilliantly cut cotton trousers can be more beautiful than a gorgeous silk gown.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
Colour disturbs people. I am confident in black, not in light. This dark side of life is attractive to me forever and from the beginning. I am a lazy designer when it comes to colour.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
I have no imagination about holidays, vacations, or retiring life. I can't imagine about those things.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
Just listen to the material. What is it going to say? Just wait. Probably the material will tell you something.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
Fashion sighs after trends. I want timeless elegance. Fashion has no time. I do. I say: Hello Lady, how can I help you? Fashion has no time to even ask such a question, because it is constantly concerned with finding out: What will come next? It is more about helping women to suffer less, to attain more freedom and independence.

I'm going to create a very strong scent which can kill a boy!

Image
Adidas is a very personal inspiration to me. It has enriched my creative life. It's an exchange between different cultures, different ideas, and most of all, it is teamwork.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
There is also a schedule to fashion - the deadline is always set. So maybe the fashion business is a good business for me in that way because I'm basically lazy, man.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
The best moments in my life are just before going to bed. Those are my happiest moments.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
I only see the faults, flaws, the imperfections. That attracts me.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
If you feel strongly about someone, go up to them. Pursue what you want in life. Why be shy about something like that?
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
I was on a Japanese designers' pedestal - considered a maestro. My design was getting closer to a couturier's work, and I felt like I was missing something.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
Black is modest and arrogant at the same time.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
I always want to have a new challenge involved. I need to put myself to the test, and if I make mistakes, it doesn't matter. What matters to me, instead, is making my dreams come true and putting them on display.
Yohji Yamamoto
Image
I exist here, now. I'm not much interested in the future. Or, more precisely put, I do not believe in the future. To exaggerate a little, I have no faith that I will still exist tomorrow or the day after. What is more, I absolutely detest retrospection. That dislike is balances only by my desire to make my way back home as quickly as possible.

At a certain point, I stopped seeing my clothing worn by people on the streets . . . It seemed like they were being treated as museum items.

I have my own judge in me....and he`s always judging me.
