Rei Kawakubo’s take on a modern-y2k punk look using lash the seams with crude saddle stitching, and put it atop on a delicate swan lake-worthy tutu. “I thought about the power of the motorbike, the machine itself, and the strength of a ballet dancer’s arms” — rei kawakubo and her philosophical ideas and technical investigation into women and strength.

JOHN WATERS on REI KAWAKUBO:

Fashion is very important to me. My “look” for the last 20 years or so has been “disaster at the dry cleaners.” I shop in reverse. When I can afford to buy a new outfit, something has to be wrong with it. Purposely wrong. Comme des Garçons (like some boys) is my favorite line of clothing, designed by the genius fashion dictator Rei Kawakubo.

Ms. Kawakubo’s reviews have mostly been brilliant but the bad ones make me prouder to wear her clothes: “unwearable,” “post­atomic,” “that shrunken, hopeless look,” “as threadbare and disheveled as Salvation army rejects,” and, best of all, “fashion is having a nervous breakdown.” “I’m always more or less annoying,” Kawakubo admitted to Judith Thurman in a revealing 2005 New Yorker profile. Wearing what Ms. Thurman describes as “Rei’s favorite accessory – a dour expression,” Kawakubo admitted that, between collections, she and her husband, Adrian Joffe (president of her company, who sees her once a month), “travel to Yemen or Romania” for … what? Fun? when asked by Thur­man, “What makes Rei laugh?” she answered without a smile, “People falling down.
