The Japanese fashion designer Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garcons 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.
