Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
The story of Japanese fashion is both brief and extraordinary and has challenged Western notions of fashion and aesthetics. The Cutting Edge examines this story and looks at the work of nineteen designers. Pioneers Hanae Mori, Kenzo Takada and the 'Big 3' - Rei Kawakubo (Comme des Gar#65533;ons), Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto - feature, and the exciting work of a new generation of designers, led by Junya Watanabe and Jun Takahashi, is also discussed.
Published in conjunction with the exhibition The cutting edge: fashion from Japan, developed by the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney in association with the Kyoto Costume Institute, 27 September 2005-29 January 2006.
