“What is beautiful doesn’t have to be pretty”
It may come as no surprise that I paid visit to Denver Art Museum's Shock Wave: Japanese Fashion Design of the 1980s and 90s as soon as I discovered it. The exhibit features designs from designers Comme des Garcons, Issey Miyake, Kenzo Takada, Kansai Yamoto, Yohji Yamamoto, and Junya Watanabe.
I was truly ecstatic to see this collection of work. Not only adventurous in the shapes and materials these designers used, it was fascinating to see the influence of the time. Much of the designs, I would consider to be relevant even after 20-30 years. That is incredible if you ask me! Here are a few shots for your enjoyment.
