Comme des Garcons Retrospective in Beijing
by Rob on July 29th, 2008
Now everyone in fashion is getting in on the China Gold Rush: Karl Lagerfeld, JA Apparel, and now, Comes des Garcons. The venerable Japanese fashion house is presenting a 25 years retrospective in Beijing. But rather than showcase the clothes that made designer Rei Kawakubo famous, they’re looking back on 25 years of corporate images, invitation cards and magazine advertisements. A wise choice for a company’s whose marketing techniques are often as interesting as their clothes. The exhibit takes over the 789 Art Zone in Beijing, a series of art galleries cum factories.
To get some of the fashion house for yourself, visit Nomad and TNT in Toronto, plus Roden Gray in Vancouver.
