ReFusing Fashion: Rei Kawakubo
n/a, Detroit, Michigan, 2008
Description
This catalogue was designed to document the exhibition “ReFusing Fashion: Rei Kawakubo” at the Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit. Kawakubo’s clothing designs for Comme des Garçons were exhibited throughout the gallery in a series of smaller spaces. The photographic documentation was designed to give readers a sense of the organization of the space. The book is organized so that photo spreads alternate with text spreads to produce a sense of each page’s inside and outside, similar to clothing.
Juror Notes
The overlapping of type and juxtaposition of images gave this book an undeniable identity. It felt random,
yet precise—a unique combination.
