REI KAWAKUBO
The old guard of fashion despised her; the critics never understood her. But for Rei Kawakubo, founder of the renowned fashion label Comme Des Garcons, that was always the point. For the more polarising a collection was, the more success it accrued. Kawakubo eschewed conventional standards of beauty, ushering in a new era of anti-fashion; a deconstructed wonderland of noir, capable of creating strong, provocative pieces for women with a defiant desire to dress in a way that reflected their own unique sensibilities.
It is a desire for the unique that permeates every facet of her business. In 2004, Kawakubo, together with Joffe and Comme Des Garcons, were credited with originating the pop-up store trend, introducing the label to cities around the globe for less than a year in any given location; once the idea entered the mainstream Kawakubo denounced the idea as tired and ceased producing pop-up stores. A 2008 collaboration with H&M produced similar results. Despite its rampant popularity - the collection produced a near-riot in Tokyo - Kawakubo is reluctant to travel the same path again, going so far as to criticise the fashion industry outright: “I don’t feel too excited about fashion today, more fearful that people don’t necessarily want or need strong new clothes, that there are not enough of us believing in the same thing, that there is kind of a burnout, that people just want cheap fast clothes and are happy to look like everyone else, that the flame of creation has gone a bit cold, that enthusiasm and passionate anger for change and rattling the status quo is weakening.”
Yet the “flame of creation,” as Kawakubo elegantly puts it, continues through the litany of high-profile designers she has influenced through her nearly five decades in fashion; European converts like John Galliano, Martin Margiela and Raf Simons - legendary designers enchanted by the anti-fashion that Kawakubo dragged into the consciousness of couture all those years ago.
Having started CDG at age 27, Kawakubo now 76 shows no sign of slowing down. The designer is still staging at every Paris fashion week presenting her unique brand of high-concept that translates into an estimated $280 million a year commercially. It is a singular dedication to “the work” as she calls it that propels her in the present, with little thought given to her posterity.

To the casual outsider the Fashion Industry can appear to be a cauldron of creativity with endless innovation and risk taking, as every new season designers have to forget their past successes and milestones and return alone to a blank canvas, to create their next collection, and this cycle repeats itself every 6 months. Granted there are principles, codes, legends and motifs that inform a designer’s agency, but essentially it’s starting over. But to those in the know, the fashion industry is a also a giant sales machine, grinding out mega-dollars as ruthlessly as Goldman and Sachs. According to the McKinsey Global Fashion Index, the global fashion industry is now worth an estimated US$3 trillion per annum. In fact, not only does it touch just about everyone, but it would be the world’s seventh-largest economy if ranked alongside individual countries’ GDP.
Even if you hold only the most casual interest in the world of fashion, it’s hard to deny the fascinating life stories of every person we have chosen to showcase in this Series. - Розваги
I always have to come back and revisit this masterpiece. Who else is here in 2021?
YES-■○•°
✋ February
yes
me
here because I can't find it on netflix
it makes me mad when people only know her brand from her converse collab because they tend to disrespect them and don’t even think about how much work she put into her brand and what she’s gone through to get to where she is now.
Basic insta hypebeasts and bitches thought they were fashion icons for wearing converse x cdg play lmao
Yes exactly! Young people only now CDG from the red heart with eyes /:
Cdg play is an abortion that is normiepraised.
Cdg as a whole is saintly.
I only have things from the Mainline.
I would never wear this CDG Shirt or Converse shit😂
God forbid new people learning about these powerhouses from more accessible products..
love my COMME des GARCONS white with red rubber sole sneakers
In the 80s in Paris, we would have killed for a piece of clothing from Comme des Garçons.
I was a student at FIT in NY in the early 80's.. what a great epoch for fashion especially the punk scene and the beginning of recognition for Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto deconstructed and how we all wore do much BLACK as students in New York City..center of our universe then.. this documentary brings me great memories and joy!!👌🤘👍🤭👏🙏🐈
Thank you Judi. Rock on !
The ethos of BLACK lives on in NYC today particularly in art&design schools. At least it did in the early 2010s..
I worked for CDG for over a decade & Yohji Yamamoto for a few years, both in NYC. Amazing designers, clothing & ideologies.
Comme definitely was way ahead of its time in the mid 80s.
This is very good analysis of the always enigmatic Rei Kawakubo. Something I have been interested to know is what her clothing looked like in the 1970s. I have never seen examples of the first decade of her collections. I know that she was not doing her unfinished, deconstructed concepts yet. That was clearly a conscious change in the early 80s. She said so herself in the notes from the Met exhibition. She has said that early collections had Japanese folklore themes, something mentioned in this clip, so that gives some indication. But I am very curious to knwo what this early clothing looked like.
@@annishilcock4587 Thanks for the pro tip, but I have done research. As I mentioned, I attended the expertly curated exhibition at the Met that Kawakubo herself was involved in. There were no pre-1981 examples and the only references to what this clothing looked like were in her quotes. I can not find any runway or advertising photos online. My guess is the company was small enough that nothing is known to still exist and perhaps Kawakubo destroyed records of this period as she reinvented herself for her international expansion.
I had those converse in black the most umcorfotable shoes I own
I was working in Tokyo for a few months in 2012. One morning early at the office, I was rummaging the cabinets looking to make coffee. My Japanese coworker/host was absolutely horrified. He told me so-and-so prepared office coffee, and *she* would be in at 9. Biggest culture clash I ever experienced. We were both looking at each other with expressions of mystification and horror.
I started grabbing cans of hot Boss coffee from machines on my way to work after that.
27:08
Gentleman: "Is this Comme des Garçons?"
Gentleman: "Is this Rei?"
Rihanna: "This is, Comme des Garçons"
Me: "Yes, Yess and Yesss🖤🖤🖤"
That gentleman was the recently deceased Andre Leon Talley.
I feel so lucky to have visited her exhibition at the Met
The "Alone in Kyoto" track at the beginning of this video is perfect. Perhaps we were/are all "Lost in Translation" with Rei Kawakubo's unique perspective. She's aimed to avoid making herself simple or understood; her life's work is a constant pursuit to see. Phenomenal.
thank you so much i was racking my brain trying to remember what song that was
12:04 Rei Kawakubo confurmed that she is a punk. In her words, she identifies with punk "as a spirit"
That Spirited Away piano song tho
Literally brought tears to my eyes, she is so inspiring and my idol.
I agree. I only wear Issey, Yohji, and Comme.
@@Hpierrenyc where do you buy the clothes
@@wehatevince If you're asking where you can buy high fashion like that, Grailed, Vestiaire Collective, Farfetch, END and SSense are decent options.
she along with ralph Lauren are my idols.
I see where Anna Wintour got her look...
FR. Get your own look Anna!
@@jacksong3085 🤭
I would love to see a movie made inspired or fully about Rey Kawakubo. She’s so stoic and interesting. Her being a Japanese fashion designer and being how she is in her art/designs.. whether it’s her personality or vision of her fashion and lifestyle, I feel it would make for an intriguing movie to watch.
I love and admire this woman.....a true icon on so many levels.
JOYEUX ANNIVERSAIRE REI KAWAKUBO !!!!!!!!!!🎉🌹❤️ ( joyeux 80 ans 😊 )
I struggle on a daily basis with whether i should conform to society or remain who i am truly, which is avant garde & minimal. Thank God for Rei's legacy reminding me to be myself.
It's the only way to be. Be true to yourself. And celebrate the divine inside.
I love all the world of Rei Kawakubo, she is great , she is a mysterious woman, I love that to...
Love the studio ghibli music as the soundtrack. Joe Hisashi’s music is top notch.
I love Rei!! God bless u and your vision . 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵❤️❤️
Yess, feed my fashion neuronss.
To be different and ahead of time❤️
It is not easy but it is be much worth the time and effort and creation , out of the box thinking
she is the legend
Wooow just wow
I recently took a picture with an entire bouquet of roses and thought to myself it was creative and looked cute - now seeing the models walking the runway with flowers on their heads (21:11) made me so satisfied and happy 😄
Fantastic documentary and excellent narrating. What a joy!
Thank you so much. Your feedback means so much to the passionate team who made this. x
She is genius 💕💕💕💕💕 turning my soul inside out ❤️
I love REI
Spirited away theme mid interview 👌🏾
Random Fun fact: Edna mode from the incredible (the superhero’s stylist/designer) is actually a portrayal of rei kawakubo. Edna was characterized as someone from a small country but large impact. Along with a few other identities such as Edith head from paramount pictures (the glasses Edna wears resembles hers so canny). So Edna is a real life designer somewhat. 😂
No capes!
this is not true lol only rumored she is also rumored to be based on costum designer Edith Head
@@alecothegecko you heard it as a rumor but I know it as a fact. It’s written in books and can clearly see the resemblance of the character to real life
@@alecothegeckoou are correct… Edna Mode was primarily inspired by Edith Head and that has been common knowledge for years. That said, they obviously combined Edna’s character with Rei and Anna Wintour’s quirks/aesthetic as well.
Masterful Designer’s I love
This is great!
Just what I was looking to watch
I hear ghibli soundtrack music, that adds points
So beautiful collection
Thank you so much 😊
Stunning pieces. Not simply fashion but Sculpture
Her design style is in her name and demeanor. Kubo means "hollow" or "sunken". Check your names for a clue to your design style.
I heard Inochi no Namae and Liquid Sunshine. Great taste.
I just want to understand why kei ninomiya is so fire...so now I'm researching all comme stuff. Personally kei is my favorite.
Amazing , love so and so...
I found this piece to be incredibly illuminating. I was not acquainted with RK and there's a sense of loss there.
"even the way her employees are required to act and dress" vs "my designs are intended for every woman"
Dream couple...
An icon 🤍
THANK YOU!
SO INSPIRING

It's the perfect song for Rei. "Listen to the girl as she takes on half the world..."
You have good taste in music. "Listen to the girl as she takes on half the world...like honey !"
IMHO I would have preferred sidewalking BUT it ALL reminds Me of when Linda E. allowed US to Continue shopping W/HER at Chelsea location;)
I love COMME DES GARCON. I have been wearing COMME DES GARCON since the 1990's. I enjoyed your video.
Awesome! Thank you!
Really enjoyed this very creative & Inspiring.
Thanks a lot xxx

Please do one Margiela, Please, please, We would love this. Because there's not too many out here & he is so influential as Rei kawakubo
I return to her shop in Chelsea NYC, under the heavenly body sign to witness her creations which are of hope & joy. I can't wait to start collecting some pieces; to hang on the wall
Ric Rei is a truly important figure in 21st century culture. She like Yohji, Kenzo, Issey and friends were all children of the atomic bomb. Just like the plague made way for the Renannaissance in Europe great hardship just like with diamonds creates jewels. Rei is a rare jewel and an inspiration for so many.
I would sell my kidney just to get slapped across the face by Kawakubo
How much would you take ?
I have Vogue patterns from Issey Miyake and maybe others.
Arigato ❤️🖤❤️
Why this design...No trend and completely unwearable survive in vogue fashion industry ????
I am amazing !!!

한글자막 ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ보고싶다
The concepts are brilliant but end up being all an unfinished thought lost in a maze of gorgeous fabrics.

"hiroshima's revenge" 🖤

She and Yoji Yamamoto both sound like INTJs.

17:55 spirited away song?? 🥲

Fucking LOOOOOVE THIS 🖤❤️🔥
We love you back Hollie xxx
Can someone put summary about this??
Tnx in advanced 😊
Which part?
@@Fashionindustrybroadcast whole thing
Tnkuu for replying 💓
Lovely content but the voice over has too much affect. Every sentence has the exact same intonation...
29:10 what's the name of the song, please.
Honey" Jesus and Mary Chain. !!!
One of the all time great songs !!!
Am I the only one who does hear sound?
We all hear sound
@@Fashionindustrybroadcast thank you - had to reset the device :)
25 minutes I had to GASP after hearing Rei's collaboration with environmental polluter - anti human rights clothing giant H&M....this a big NO NO NO NO NO NO FUCKING CAN DO .
これ、何用の何？
High Street Colliers Wood London England U.K Boots Store Pharmacy work for the beauty Make-up work Ms Rihanna _________ for fashion so..@#.
Can anyone help me understand the meaning behind the name “Like Some Boys” ?
I think the choice of the name comes from her desire to free women from clothing conventions (clothing that intend to enhace the waist, hips etc.), you can see how most of her designs are focused on the blurring of gender norms, the "female form" disappears under the fabric like in menswear clothing.
@@virginiamoon97 its from a song lmao
this is literal translation. It's actually should be more close to "Like a Boy"
Igor Spie like the Boys
Virginia Campos I was just watching an interview with Yohji Yamamoto & then I ended up hear. I did not know that they were together he did mention her name in the interview. He said that he wanted to design clothes for women that were like men’s clothing & that became his mark in fashion. Guess Great Minds Think alike in some ways. They are both very Inspiring.
