I am a clothes maker, and that's all I am. I only want to talk about the making of the clothes. I don't feel the need to go out there and explain that.
Rei KawakuboFashion is something that you can attach to yourself, put on, and through that interaction, the meaning of it is born.
Rei KawakuboI haven't yet made clothes that I have been totally satisfied with, and maybe I never will.
Rei KawakuboThe theme of the collection this time is MONSTER. It's not about the typical Monster you find in sci-fi and video games. The expression of the Monsters I have made has a much deeper meaning. The craziness of humanity, the fear we all have, the feeling of going beyond common sense, the absence of ordinariness, expressed by something extremely big, by something that could be ugly or beautiful. In other words, I wanted to question the established standards of beauty.
