This book is a catalog booklet 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 to have someone who not only creates as a designer, but also continues to create business as a manager and develop a brand globally. This exhibition has a unique content that destroys concepts such as "West and East," "male and female," and "past and present" in the same way as Garcons, and this is a booklet that was distributed and sold at the exhibition venue. The exhibition's display configuration and explanations are introduced, as well as photos of the actual exhibition scene.
