New York
TWISTS, knots, curls and folds: the fantastical, boundary-pushing creations of legendary designer Rei Kawakubo explore the space where fashion ends and art begins.
The Japanese designer, who founded the esteemed Comme des Garcons fashion house in 1969, is being honoured at New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art with an exhibition featuring half a century of her creations. It is the first monographic show at the museum's Costume Institute dedicated to a living designer since Yves Saint Laurent, the French legend who put women in trousers and tuxedo jackets, in 1983.
