More quotes by Yohji Yamamoto
You can say that designing is quite easy the difficulty lies in finding a new way to explore beauty
Yohji Yamamoto
It meant something to me – the idea of a coat guarding and hiding a woman’s body. For me, a woman who is absorbed in her work, who does not care about gaining one’s favor, strong yet subtle at the same time, is essentially more seductive. The more she hides and abandons her femininity, the more it emerges from the very heart of her existence.
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
Fashion is only complete when it is worn by ordinary people who exist now, managing their lives, loving and grieving.
Yohji Yamamoto
I'm going to create a very strong scent which can kill a boy!
Yohji Yamamoto
A beautiful flower does not exist. There's only a moment when a flower looks beautiful.
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
Black is modest and arrogant at the same time.
Yohji Yamamoto
Beautiful things are disappearing every day.
Yohji Yamamoto
Just listen to the material. What is it going to say? Just wait. Probably the material will tell you something.
Yohji Yamamoto
Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy - but mysterious. [...] But above all black says this: 'I don't bother you - don't bother me'
Yohji Yamamoto
The best moments in my life are just before going to bed. Those are my happiest moments.
Yohji Yamamoto
The more we possess, the more distant we grow from God.
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
My role in all of this is very simple. I make clothing like armor. My clothing protects you from unwelcome eyes.
Yohji Yamamoto
I have my own judge in me....and he`s always judging me.
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.
Yohji Yamamoto
With my eyes turned to the past, I walk backwards into the future.
Yohji Yamamoto
To be modern is to tear the soul out of every thing
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
