One of the great fashion books. A holy grail of avant-garde fashion publishing and a definitive document of modern design history. Published in Tokyo to coincide with Rei Kawakubo’s revolutionary early Paris presentations, this oversized monograph catalogues the formative visual identity of Comme des Garçons across its first seven years.
Featuring iconography shot by visionary photographers including Peter Lindbergh, Bruce Weber, Deborah Turbeville, Sarah Moon, and Kazumi Kurigami, the volume captures Kawakubo’s radically austere, oversized, and monochrome silhouettes that fundamentally reshaped 1980s Western fashion sensibilities.
