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.

More quotes by 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 have no imagination about holidays, vacations, or retiring life. I can't imagine about those things.
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
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
The best moments in my life are just before going to bed. Those are my happiest moments.
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
Fashion sighs after trends. I want timeless elegance. Fashion has no time. I do. I say: Hello Lady, how can I help you? Fashion has no time to even ask such a question, because it is constantly concerned with finding out: What will come next? It is more about helping women to suffer less, to attain more freedom and independence.
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
Clothing doesn’t lie, it shows everything.
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 more we possess, the more distant we grow from God.
Yohji Yamamoto
I have my own judge in me....and he`s always judging me.
Yohji Yamamoto
Dirty, stained, withered, broken things seem beautiful to me.
Yohji Yamamoto
You can say that designing is quite easy the difficulty lies in finding a new way to explore beauty
Yohji Yamamoto
I'm going to create a very strong scent which can kill a boy!
Yohji Yamamoto
Black is modest and arrogant at the same time.
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
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
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
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.
