I don’t think we should try to make space our own. I believe that as modern people we should live in mobility. We should always be moving.

More quotes by Yohji Yamamoto
Fashion cannot make you sexy. Experience makes you sexy. Imagination makes people sexy. You have to train yourself, you have to study, and you have to live your life.
Yohji Yamamoto
A pair of brilliantly cut cotton trousers can be more beautiful than a gorgeous silk gown.
Yohji Yamamoto
I have my own judge in me....and he`s always judging me.
Yohji Yamamoto
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
I want to achieve anti-fashion through fashion. That's why I'm always heading in my own direction, in parallel to fashion.
Yohji Yamamoto
I'm going to create a very strong scent which can kill a boy!
Yohji Yamamoto
Clothing doesn’t lie, it shows everything.
Yohji Yamamoto
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
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
My role in all of this is very simple. I make clothing like armor. My clothing protects you from unwelcome eyes.
Yohji Yamamoto
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.
Yohji Yamamoto
Black is modest and arrogant at the same time.
Yohji Yamamoto
I think perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.
Yohji Yamamoto
I only see the faults, flaws, the imperfections. That attracts me.
Yohji Yamamoto
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.
Yohji Yamamoto
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
I have no imagination about holidays, vacations, or retiring life. I can't imagine about those things.
Yohji Yamamoto
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
Dirty, stained, withered, broken things seem beautiful to me.
Yohji Yamamoto
You can say that designing is quite easy the difficulty lies in finding a new way to explore beauty
