More quotes by Yohji Yamamoto
Start copying what you love. Copy copy copy copy. At the end of the copy you will find your self.
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 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
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
People have started wasting fashion
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
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 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
Just listen to the material. What is it going to say? Just wait. Probably the material will tell you something.
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
Dirty, stained, withered, broken things seem beautiful to me.
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
The more we possess, the more distant we grow from God.
Yohji Yamamoto
Black is modest and arrogant at the same time.
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.
