Recenzii

An impressively broad and highly entertaining mix of established and emerging fashion scholars tackling, with style, that most enigmatic, contrarian and complex of designers ... While some of the paradoxes of Kawakubo]s work remain, this collection enlightens and delights like the designer herself.
An engaging and thought-provoking collection, exploring Rei Kawakubo's radical contribution within and beyond fashion. Fascinating reading for anyone interested in the work of one of the most challenging designers and creatives of our times.
This array of notable voices from fashion academia offers a great companion for those who want to study the work of Rei Kawakubo, by providing theoretical tools and concepts by eminent thinkers ranging from Roland Barthes and Jacques Lacan to Julia Kristeva.
