I’ve always loved Yohji. In the current era of market-driven fashion, it’s a luxury to see something so original, sharp, consistent - something which is again at odds to everything else. His designs have had a profound influence on my own aesthetic. His woman is not a sexualised object but an intellectual - and there is something deeper and more profound about his work. I stand behind the pure designers like Yohji, not the merchandisers who only copy and reference the archives. Back to the people who actually work. Back to basics. Back to the real designers.
