when i first started designing, all i wanted to do was constantly put out product ; eventually believing i would find success. after getting interested into this man, i learned to slow down; thank you yohji, for everything.
From what I have learned so far, fashion industry altogether is just the peak of the insanity our society created over the hundreds of years, and still is living in. But the great thing about it is that someone somewhere like Yohji Yamamoto always exists, and the contrast between this person and everything around makes you appreciate it. I don't know, the personality of this man just lifts me up. I'm happy now I came across this video :D
Hmm... Watch Lagerfeld Confidential movie. I think he's very intelligent and inspirational as well as Yamamoto despite different characters of those two. I'm gald I've watch this.
This interview really spoke out to me, I felt a great connection with a lot of the things that Mr Yamamoto said such as the anger, hating the fashion system, being a creator or stylist. I like to think that I am a creator not a stylist as I wish to achieve art in my work and be true to my work so I am more than willing to sacrifice for my work. I wish I had him for a mentor and teacher as I know I would have gained a great deal from him.
