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 YamamotoIt meant something to me โ the idea of a coat guarding and hiding a womanโs body. For me, a woman who is absorbed in her work, who does not care about gaining oneโs 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.

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.
