Rei Kawakubo Hardcover – December 30, 2012

Got this for my daughter. made her think, expanded her mind, she was obviously in the rpesence of someone inspirational and different. Says it all. cool book indeed,

there are a lot of images has a good selection to show the vision of the brand.Hard cover is useful to keep it from time using.

These books are really large, they definitely will not sit stacked up on a bookshelf and would have to be laid flat.

Good book, but it is HUGE! Not a portable book. It is almost 2 feet long. A coffee table book. Was not expecting it to be as big as it is.

I love collecting fashion books and this book does not dissapoint. I LOVE this book, very excited to add this to my growing collection.

It's great to have this book available but it falls somewhat short in being a complete picture of Kawakubo's work. I wish there had been more images from earlier collections and more content on the menswear.

Beautiful book

"My fashion pedigree is wholly derived from childhood predilection for wrapping swaths of cloth and ribbon left over from my mother's sewing projects around my body in primitive, avant-gardist arrangements. I would punctuate the look with bright pink plastic heels, the kind that came in a blisterpack from the supermarket, and then hobble over to my mother and ask her with all the gravitas of a four-year-old-girl:"Mom, am I fashion?""Yes sweetie," she'd reply, "You're fashion."Though not all are subjected to--blessed with?--a congenital penchant for getting dressed, internet culture has given rise to an entire generation of self-styled fashion aficionados who privilege ideas and images over the clothes themselves, and big-idea designers like Rei Kawakubo are their patron saints. I can't pinpoint the moment of discovery, but in a mainstream landscape of bronzed legs, big tits, and beachy waves, Rei Kawakubo and the various arms of her fashion house crept in like a slow revelation; dark, angular creatures from another world moved into the periphery and eventually came to embody my love for clothes that are about clothes."Christina Catherine Martinez on Rei Kawakubo from TaschenRead the full review here:[...]

Imperdible para cualquiera que ame el trabajo de esta diseñadora

A* recommend ...

Il libro come erroneamente riportato sul sito non è in italiano ne spagnolo, ma soltanto in inglese.Per il resto, chi compra questo libro sà di cercare qualcosa di specifico e particolare e non rimmarrà deluso.

Livre grand format avec de nombreuses illustrations et un très bon texte. Idéale pour les personnes aimant Rei Kawakubo. Bonne source d'inspiration pour la créativité.Le style de ce créateur ne plaira pas forcément à tout le monde !

Das Buch ist unnötig groß, passt in kein Bücherregal bei mir. Die Schrift im Hauptteil des Buches hätte wesentlich kleiner sein können, um unnötige Seiten zu sparen. Dennoch ist der Inhalt sehr informativ und die Bilder faszinierend.
