My role in all of this is very simple. I make clothing like armor. My clothing protects you from unwelcome eyes.

Yohji YamamotoI believe that there are three conditions to a womanโs beauty. First, you must realize that not all women are beautiful all of the time. Sometimes beauty comes on a subconscious level. When she is in love, or has met someone new and exciting, she shines. Second, you must understand that life is unfair. Beauty is something that, for some, must be worked at. The third condition is luck. Some women can just be lucky.

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.
