This book is a catalog photo book published on the occasion of the exhibition "Rei Kawakubo / Comme des Garcons Art of the In-Between" held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 2017. This is the first exhibition of Kawakubo and Comme des Garcons by a living designer in 34 years since Yves Saint Laurent in 1983. While the history of destruction and creation that has denied the past and pursued "the new" is often described as "art," Kawakubo emphasizes "business" to the end. It is rare in the world for someone to not only create as a designer, but also continue to create business as a manager and develop a brand globally. This book is a large-format collection of over 200 pages, featuring works from the 1980s that were called the "shock of black" and "boro look" of Peter Lindbergh and others, as well as representative works such as the "Cobb Dress" photographed by Paolo Roversi and the "Body Meets Dress" photographed by Kishin Shinoyama, as well as newly taken photographs by Andrew Bolton. It is a very interesting collection of works.
