London's Design Museum director Deyan Sudjic's puts his hand to another book that is visually and theoretically perfect. The blueprint monograph; Comme des Garçons provides the most comprehensive review of the groundbreaking Japanese fashion house. Exploring its history and more importantly, its notoriously elusive founder Rei Kawakubo. Sudjic decodes Kawakubo's design choices and draws parallels between Comme des Garçons and the modernist pioneer Le Corbusier because of its bridging of fine art and craft. No part of the empire is left untouched, providing a thorough overview of every aspect, from the clothes to the advertising and interior design. Undoubtedly a piece of fashion history and never to have been reprinted since its 1990 first edition.
