Description

The Japanese fashion designer Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons is undoubtedly one of the worlds major fashion designers. In 2017 she was the second living designer to ever be given a retrospective at the renowned Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Her work exerts an extraordinary influence over succeeding generations of designers and is a major point of reference for all those wishing to explore the place of fashion in contemporary culture.The 14 essays in this collection, written by eminent fashion theorists from around the world, ask what is the relationship of Kawakubos work to art, philosophy and architecture, and ultimately illustrate how Kawakubos creative output allows us to understand the very notion of fashion itself.
