More quotes by Yohji Yamamoto
I have no imagination about holidays, vacations, or retiring life. I can't imagine about those things.
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
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

Yohji Yamamoto
With my eyes turned to the past, I walk backwards into the future.
Yohji Yamamoto
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
You can say that designing is quite easy the difficulty lies in finding a new way to explore beauty
Yohji Yamamoto
I have my own judge in me....and he`s always judging me.
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
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.
Yohji Yamamoto
A pair of brilliantly cut cotton trousers can be more beautiful than a gorgeous silk gown.
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.
