Wonderful forum!!! Congrat!!! It is from my blog:

georgia o’keeffe (november 15, 1887 – march 6, 1986)
oh yes, everyone knows that, out of all designers, i like yamamoto the most. i watch, read, listen to… everything i find about him. then i let go it all, but i keep thinking how does he make clothes that even angels would like to wear… in which they would feel safe.
i think, i am almost certain that she would love to wear his clothes. she = georgia o’keeffe. i am convinced that she would wear it just like he imagined a woman obsessed with creation would wear it… after all, she has worn it. that’s it, right? fraternity of persons in space… paths cross for people of same energy at some point, even if they come from different periods…

post scriptum:
or brotherhood of persons in the universe (and sometimes on the earth also) i have finished today’s post and i realized that I must add this p.s.she, who painted flowers so strong, so powerful, said that she hates flowers. he, who creates fashion that is timeless, divine, said that he hates fashion. the two people who probably never met, she died in 1986. and her japanese exhibition was in tokyo (the seibu museum of art), posthumously in 1988… but, obviously, they separately shared so much in their lives… the beauty of good energies…
“i hate flowers – i paint them because they’re cheaper than models and they don’t move. ”
“i know i can not paint a flower. i can not paint the sun on the desert on a bright summer morning but maybe in terms of paint color i can convey to you my experience of the flower or the experience that makes the flower of significance to me at that particular time.”
“a flower is relatively small. everyone has many associations with a flower – the idea of flowers. you put out your hand to touch the flower — lean forward to smell it — maybe touch it with your lips almost without thinking — or give it to someone to please them. still — in a way — nobody sees a flower — really — it is so small — we haven’t time — and to see takes time, like to have a friend takes time …”
claudia riedel: from the beginning until today?
yohji yamamoto: yes, i may be making fashion in the sense of craftmanship, but i hate the world of fashion.
claudia riedel: why do you hate it?
yohji yamamoto: fashion sighs after trends. i want timeless elegance. fashion has no time. i do. i say.: hello lady, how can i help you? 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.

“do not be afraid! you are not alone! there are also others like you
that’s unknown of you, living their lives. “
“for me, a woman who is absorbed in her work, who does not care about gaining one’s favour, 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.” (yohji yamamoto)

i think it’s so foolish for people to want to be happy. happy is so momentary – you’re happy for an instant and then you start thinking again. (georgia O’keeffe)
“why black? black is modest and arrogant at the same time. black is lazy and easy — but mysterious. it means that many things go together, yet it takes different aspects in many fabrics. you need black to have a silhouette. black can swallow light, or make things look sharp. but above all black says this: ‘i don’t bother you — don’t bother me!” (yohji yamamoto)
there’s something about black. you feel hidden away in it. (georgia o’keeffe)
