T: Yohji Yamamoto, film director weimuwendesi said he bought the first dress when you are deeply attracted by that kind of old and new cross and wrap on the body so that people can feel at ease. Did you think the description accurate?
Y: I design clothes's original intention was to protect the human body. This was the beginning of everything, actually covered the women's bodies. It's about sex and protection. Starting from my career, my "fashion designer" this title is not too cold, because fashion designers sounds very small.
T: fashion designers will remind you of anything?
Y: when I think of fashion designer, my first reaction is related to the trend. What do I need to consider is the freshest, what will happen after, whether customers might like will buy it. It's too busy for me. So, right from the beginning, I just wanted to let those clothing and fashion to maintain distance, while protecting the woman's body from the thin man with wind gales. I want my guests to make the best use of one dress 10 years or more, so I asked me to make me very solid fabric, fabric manufacturers.
T: you say you want to protect the female body, and your clothes are hermaphrodites which is very interesting. You think men and women dress more and more similar to you?
Y: when I started in 1977 when making clothes, all I think about is how to make a woman wearing men's clothes. Standing at this point designing clothes for women, this means to defend and protect women's health. To me, women should focus on her work rather than how to enable us to cater to the preferences of others, while having a look at four deflected a powerful. In essence, it is more attractive. She hid her own femininity, the more, the better they can render your own inner strength. An impeccably tailored cotton trousers more than a colorful silk robe and moving.
T: 30 years later, people still are not satisfied with what you wear?
Y: I find it hard to simply say fashion is becoming more conservative, but basically, fashion will always return to the habit. Otherwise, when the next wave comes, people will still feel taken for granted, even the most avant-garde design is classified as a little fashion. I don't want to see avant-garde become cheap and pretentious. Colleagues, I still believe that avant-garde spirit: it must be a tradition worth voice. This is not young are thinking, I have to settle down. Treason! Long life on the road, I struggle to find my true self with some things. Antwerp in the name of fashion
T: you once said in an interview that you hate fashion, but now you look like you still love. Have you ever thought of giving up and leaving the fashion industry no longer being in the fashion business?
Y: about six years ago, I feel the man is finished. But now, especially in Tokyo, New York and Los Angeles, all of which were ruled by fast fashion consumption. Fashion changes faster and faster and cheaper, people wasted fashion. Suddenly, I found this and I can display space. Starting a small number of people, especially young people begin to doubt and reflection on the trend, they may be waiting for a resurgence of some things and some of the newer stuff. So I said to myself, you want to continue your work. Don't change for others, stuck to his attitude to continue his work.
