Reviews
When does fashion become "Design"? Clues may be found in this exhibition catalog of innovative garments by one of the first Japanese fashion designers to bridge East and West. Contributor Kazuko Sato surveys the entire course of Miyake's career since the 1960s, curator Herv? Chand?s interviews Miyake about his artistic progress and philosophy, and photographer Raymond Meier presents 50 color photographs from the recent exhibition in Paris. Drawing upon traditional Japanese textile techniques and garment construction, Miyake created a new dynamic between the cloth and the body: never-before-seen "industrial cloth," pleating reminiscent of Japanese lanternsAtwisted, crushed, crumpled, and pressedAand metallic paper heat-pressed onto woven fabric are only a few of Miyake's highly original ideas. These sculptures were a departure point for his signature wrapped and layered ready-to-wear clothes. Readers may remain puzzled about the "beauty" or wearability of many of these garments, but no serious collection on fashion should be without this concise retrospective on one of today's most important designers.ATherese Duzinkiewicz Baker, Western Kentucky Univ.
