Rei Kawakubo is an acclaimed Japanese fashion designer and founder of the Comme des Gar Ons (French for "like boys") brand. I wrote an article about her brand in November, and today I plan to write another article about her clothing design style.
Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Gar Ons style, which can be described in a simple word, can be described as very avant-garde, unique and conceptual.
Her designs break through traditional notions of clothing design, often challenging and redefining the boundaries of the fashion industry.
Structurally, her designs are unconventional cuts and structuresShe enjoys playing with the shape and cut of her garments to create designs that are asymmetrical, irregular, or transcend traditional silhouettes. Strange lines and structural elements are often used to create unique garment forms.
In terms of fashion concept, it is very groundbreaking:Her designs emphasize concept and artistry, often treating clothing as works of art. She explores the relationship between clothing and the body, as well as the connection between clothing and social culture, often expressing perceptions of society, identity and beauty.
In terms of color, it is mainly low-key black and monochromeShe often uses black as a powerful expressive color. In addition to black, she often uses monochrome or very few colors, focusing more on the structure and form of the design itself.
Rei Kawakubo's designs challenge the traditional aesthetic standards of the fashion industry. She often breaks the mold and proposes unusual clothing ideas that make people rethink the definition of fashion. She often blends different cultural elements and styles to create unique and diverse designs.
Rei Kawakubo's design style is avant-garde and artistic, and her work is often seen as crossing the boundary between fashion and art, leading the fashion industry in a more exploratory and open direction.
