Publisher/COMME des GARCONS

This is a catalogue photographed by Yoshiko Seino, a Japanese female photographer who committed suicide in 2009, and was published by Comme des Garcons. It is unclear whether she held a solo exhibition at the time, but it is believed to be a seasonal direct mailing that Comme des Garcons regularly mails to customers. Seino began taking photographs in the mid-1990s and worked as an editor until then. One theory is that Rei Kawakubo discovered Seino's talent for photography and encouraged her to become a photographer (details unknown). However, it is also true that Kawakubo appreciated Seino's photography, regardless of her career, as Seino held her first solo exhibition at Comme des Garcons' Aoyama main store in 1996 and they continued to collaborate regularly after that. This direct mailing was published by Comme des Garcons in 1999, which was before "Sign of Life" in terms of the year, and contains 12 precious images from the early 1990s of Seino's career, which continued into "Sign of Life" in the 2000s. It is also a record of the precious collaboration between Rei Kawakubo and Yoshiko Seino. No envelope.
