Yohji Yamamoto
I have my own judge in me....and he`s always judging me.
Yohji Yamamoto

Yohji Yamamoto

Yohji Yamamoto
I only see the faults, flaws, the imperfections. That attracts me.
Yohji Yamamoto
A pair of brilliantly cut cotton trousers can be more beautiful than a gorgeous silk gown.
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
I think perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make, I want to see scars, failure, disorder, distortion.
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
Dirty, stained, withered, broken things seem beautiful to me.
Yohji Yamamoto
To be modern is to tear the soul out of every thing
Yohji Yamamoto
A beautiful flower does not exist. There's only a moment when a flower looks beautiful.
Yohji Yamamoto
Beautiful things are disappearing every day.
Yohji Yamamoto
