Rei Kawakubo





 



So starts our spotlight on designers who stood out among the crowd. We kick of the series with Rei Kawakubo, founder of world-famous brand Commes des Garcon which launched in 1973. Whose avant garde clothing designs brought the world over to fashion "in another dimension". She paved the way for future designers bold and daring designs to be accepted and worn by consumers.

Then news came that Commes des Garcon would be collaborating with H&M and the world went wild. The collection was a huge success. Which brought about a surge in the fashion industry as fahionable dressing was brought to the next level.


As far as Anna Wintour carries off the bob, I am no Azzedine Alaia but I think Rei Kawakubo carries the look much better. Ah well, the world will always crave differences and she certainly introduced the stamp of approval.
