Synopsis
A revelatory look at the influential and enigmatic designer behind Comme des Gar ons The great pantheon of fashion designers produces only a handful of creators who are masters of their m tier. Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Gar ons is one of them. Widely recognized among her contemporaries as the most important and influential designer of the past forty years, she has, since her Paris debut in 1981, defined and transformed the aesthetics of our time. This lavishly illustrated publication examines Kawakubo's fascination with interstitiality, or the space between boundaries. Existing within and between dualities--whether self/other, object/subject, art/fashion--Kawakubo's work challenges the rigid divisions that have come to define received notions of identity and fashionability, inviting us to rethink fashion as a site of constant creation, re-creation, and, ultimately, hybridity. Featuring brilliant new photography, and thought-provoking texts by Andrew Bolton, this book expresses the conceptual and challenging aesthetic of this visionary designer. An insightful interview and illustrated chronology of Kawakubo's career provide additional context., A revelatory look at the influential and enigmatic designer behind Comme des Garçons The great pantheon of fashion designers produces only a handful of creators who are masters of their métier.

    The item arrived well packaged and undamaged. The condition is described as very good, but it looks like new and unopened. Expedited international shipping at a moderate price compared to other sellers. Shipping time was good. Recommended seller.

    Everything looks very cute and darling. The seller was very professional and sent it immediately when they knew I needed it before August 25. I unfortunately found the same one half the price, so I just needed to return it. But I would definitely recommend this seller. They are very efficient and customer oriented.
