The Japanese fashion designer Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons is
undoubtedly one of the world's 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 Kawakubo's work
to art, philosophy and architecture, and ultimately illustrate how
Kawakubo's creative output allows us to understand the very notion of
fashion itself.
