YOHJI YAMAMOTO doesn't just make clothes, he makes forms. He understands the body, history, fabric, construction, humor, elegance and intelligence, reinventing classical forms for the present. He embraces the masculinity in women and the femininity in men.
"With my eyes turned to the past, I walk backwards into the future." Yohji Yamamoto

― 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".”

Always,
Mom
