Description
Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons is undoubtedly one of the world’s major fashion designers. In 2017, she became the second living designer ever to be honoured with a retrospective at the renowned Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Her work has exerted 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, explore the relationship of Kawakubo’s work to art, philosophy, and architecture. They reveal how Kawakubo's creative output allows us to understand the very notion of fashion itself.
