內容簡介
內容簡介 川久保玲的服裝品牌Comme des Garçons (像個男孩)讓許多明星趨之若鶩,本書探索了這個深具影響力又充滿謎樣色彩的日本服裝設計師的作品。本書作者,同時也是大都會博物館時裝部門主任Andrew Bolton 所策畫的同名展覽,也在5月同步推出。服裝設計師的聖殿中,僅有少數真正有才華與能力的創作者,川久保玲是其中的一員。自1981年在巴黎的第一個服裝秀開始,川久保玲一直是當代最重要且最具影響力的設計師,因為她定義並且改變我們這個時代的美學觀。這本收錄豐富照片的圖錄,檢視了川久為何著迷於”縫隙” - 或者說邊界之間的空間。那種在自我 他者;主體 客體;藝術 時尚之間或之內的雙重性。她的作品挑戰了兩者間嚴苛的界線,使我們重新思考,時尚其實可以作為不斷創作、再創作、最終成為雜合體的一個載體。本書內含許多新的照片,加上Andrew Bolton引人深思的文字,表達出這個有遠見的設計師個人具挑戰性的審美觀。除此之外,與川久的訪談以及生涯編年史,也可以與書中的文字圖像做對照式參考。A revelatory look at the influential and enigmatic designer behind Comme des GarçonsThe great pantheon of fashion designers produces only a handful of creators who are masters of their métier. Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons 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.
