Well, it seems to me that there are books that tell stories, and then there are books that tell truths. . . The first kind, they show you life like you want it to be. With villains getting what they deserve and the hero seeing what a fool he's been and marrying the heroine and happy endings and all that. . . But the second kind, they show you life more like it is. . . The first kind makes you cheerful and contented, but the second kind shakes you up.
Yohji Yamamoto
It meant something to me – the idea of a coat guarding and hiding a woman’s body. For me, a woman who is absorbed in her work, who does not care about gaining one’s 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.
