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.

More quotes by 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
The more we possess, the more distant we grow from God.
Yohji Yamamoto
People have started wasting fashion
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 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
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
I think perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.
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
To be modern is to tear the soul out of every thing
Yohji Yamamoto
A pair of brilliantly cut cotton trousers can be more beautiful than a gorgeous silk gown.
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
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
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'm going to create a very strong scent which can kill a boy!
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 only see the faults, flaws, the imperfections. That attracts me.
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
With my eyes turned to the past, I walk backwards into the future.
Yohji Yamamoto
