Fashion sighs after trends. I want timeless elegance. Fashion has no time. I do. I say: Hello Lady, how can I help you?

It is more about helping women to suffer less, to attain more freedom and independence.

Yohji YamamotoI exist here, now. I'm not much interested in the future. Or, more precisely put, I do not believe in the future.

That dislike is balances only by my desire to make my way back home as quickly as possible.
