The fact that fashion can be expressed conceptually can explain my approach to my work, which may be a little different from other designers’ work. I don’t start out thinking about a certain woman’s lifestyle, or fashion history or what I would wear or what I would like others to wear. It starts by what I am feeling inside. This becomes a theme for each collection. This could be called Comme des Garçons style. - Rei Kawakubo
Recently honored by the CDFA with the International Fashion Design award for Comme des Garcons. Rei’s statement here on her process perfectly embodies what my sentiments and possibly is the most eloquent description of what I feel with MATERIAL MEMORIE.
