More quotes by Yohji Yamamoto
People have started wasting fashion
Yohji Yamamoto
You can say that designing is quite easy the difficulty lies in finding a new way to explore beauty
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
A pair of brilliantly cut cotton trousers can be more beautiful than a gorgeous silk gown.
Yohji Yamamoto
I feel like I have become a living fossil in the fashion world. Without even noticing it, in my own collection I have moved away from the street style.
Yohji Yamamoto
I think perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.
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
I only see the faults, flaws, the imperfections. That attracts me.
Yohji Yamamoto
A beautiful flower does not exist. There's only a moment when a flower looks beautiful.
Yohji Yamamoto
Fashion is only complete when it is worn by ordinary people who exist now, managing their lives, loving and grieving.
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
Beautiful things are disappearing every day.
Yohji Yamamoto
To be modern is to tear the soul out of every thing
Yohji Yamamoto
In order to create an image almost similar to that of a pencil case standing up and walking, I try to eliminate all excess by cutting. I have the feeling that this process (of cutting off) is linked in some way to elegance. Elegance and so-called eliminating excess, or the beauty that remains after excess has beeen eliminated...
Yohji Yamamoto
The best moments in my life are just before going to bed. Those are my happiest moments.
Yohji Yamamoto
I'm going to create a very strong scent which can kill a boy!
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
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.
Yohji Yamamoto
I have no imagination about holidays, vacations, or retiring life. I can't imagine about those things.
Yohji Yamamoto
Men's clothing is more pure in design. It's more simple and has no decoration. Women want that. When I started designing, I wanted to make men's clothes for women. But there were no buyers for it. Now there are. I always wonder who decided that there should be a difference in the clothes of men and women. Perhaps men decided this.
