A special issue of "Rei Kawakubo", a monograph series focusing on fashion designers published by German publisher Taschen. Books related to Comme des Garcons seem to have a great influence on the historical part, but basically they are mostly in the 80's and 90's, and since 2000, the brand side has produced every season. It is conceivable that there are not so many things that remain as "paper media" as in the past, except for the visuals by the artists who are doing it. In that sense, the images contained in this book are valuable because many of them are from 2000 onwards, especially those published in iD. I also learned for the first time that the famous portrait of Rei Kawakubo was taken by Leonard Koren, and the portrait wearing black riders was taken by Eiichiro Sakata.
