Wakubo Rei'S "Beggar" Dressing Rule: &Nbsp, A Symbol Of Fashion

Character card

Wakubo Rei

She studied art at University, worked in a fabric factory after graduation, and never read Japanese in costume design.

Run like a top.

In recent days, Wakubo Rei's name has been keeping the high frequency of the front page of fashion news. On the one hand, many of her series are busy drying out the new series of new feathers in 2011. On the other hand, her cross boundary work in various fields is also in full swing. Even the 76 year old Spanish designer Paco Rabanne, who has left the fashion circle for 5 years, was dragged back by her.

Wakubo Rei's latest exposure is a series of spring and summer new pictorial she shot for Japanese magazine "Fudge" February. The little girl in the pictorial is wearing two braided braid, and is dressed in layers of multicolored classic lattice clothes. It is so graceful and graceful that she can not hide her vigorous vitality, and the multi layer lotus leaf lace cap she wears is creating a perfect sense of absurdity.

Turning over at first, the visitor can not help but feel happy.

Look at what Wakubo Rei has been busy with lately. His Black series Disney launched a series of Mickey T-shirts and launched the I.T Beijing Market special T-shirt. The new strange perfume bottles are designed to be the same as the quicksand painting, the flower type ancient brooch, the high-profile fluorescent eggshell shoes, and the dark and decadent theme displayed throughout the spring and summer men's and women's clothing.

However, the most recent attempt by Wakubo Rei and the classics is to count her cooperation with Spanish Paco Rabanne.

The 76 year old Paco Rabanne came back with the snowing bag that he was born in 1969. What's going to happen next is Wakubo Rei's cooperation with him. A new interpretation of the package will be carried out with the new material. The interpretation will also be displayed at the Crillon hotel in Paris recently, and the 9 shops in the world will be sold on a limited scale.

The pioneer Experimental School Spanish designers love plastic and metal materials. They often forget their practicality. They have been labled with "metal workers" by Coco Chanel. They cooperate with Wakubo Rei, who is also eager to make a fresh attempt. The results are quite satisfactory after the re interpretation of snail armor, such as stingray fish skin, plant material, luminescent cortex, metal and deer skin.

China's first stop in Beijing

In the near future, Comme des Garons is specially designed for I.T Beijing Market. The special T-shirt will be landed in stores and online stores in the near future.

The three T-shirts, which have been released, continue the Chuan Tan Bao Ling's consistent black and white color aesthetics and simple design, but one of them is too simple and dull, like a work shirt that the staff in the shop will wear.

But if Wakubo Rei's works are sold, even if they are unthinkable, they will be happy to buy them.

It is precisely because of the appeal of Wakubo Rei himself and the brand of Comme des Garons that Beijing's Comme des Garons retail store opened up at the end of last year and attracted all kinds of people. These three special T-shirts are the feedback from the brand.

At the end of last year, Wakubo Rei brought the retail store model of Dover Street Market, a powerful retail store in London and even the world, into China, and settled down in Sanlitun Village North District.

On the opening day, in addition to many celebrities such as Xun Zhou, Chen Kun and Shawn Yue who came to cheer, Wakubo Rei himself made a special trip to Beijing to call for business in his own store.

In addition to selling the costumes of the Comme des Garons15 line, the I.T Beijing Market store also includes the selected brands of I.T, as well as the brand designers selected by Yukawa Kuboreihoso and influential countries, such as the brand series of Bape, Wakubo Rei's own disciple, and the work of Watanabe Junya's works with beautiful colors.

The I.T Beijing Market, which covers an area of 1800 square meters and has a total of four stories, is said to have been designed by Wakubo Rei herself. The beautiful glass curtain wall is shimmering with light and shadow, and three of them have white walls. The other 1/4 direct perspective designs ingeniously increase the depth of space, and highlight the black and white circular points of the whole building.

And those black dots with white dots are familiar to Comme des Garons, which is the wave style of Wakubo Rei himself.

But the real charm of this shop is to experience it after entering. Comme des Garons, I.T brand and other designer costumes are bright spots, but they are more attractive than those of ghosts and animals, beautiful red eyed cello, antique tables and chairs, and many modern and contemporary installation art and design works.

The shelf display is ingenious and creative. It seems that it is full of meticulous consideration when it appears at random, but when you see too much art and look at clothes, there is always a casual look back. You may find interesting pieces hidden in the corners or cracks.

In Wakubo Rei's words, this is a journey of discovery, and we hope that we can get inspiration and fun from it.

She also hopes that this will provide a platform for cultural exchanges between art and fashion, and at the same time, the brand will cooperate with the designers who are now popular. Maybe you will be able to walk around casually when you pass by, and you will harvest a wonderful limited cooperation product or a limited exhibition.

I never care about other people's approval.

In the mid 70s of last century, Wakubo Rei's Comme des Garons was almost the same age. There were Beatles, sex pistols, the spread of cannabis and LSD, the fall of hippies and the climax of sexual liberation movement.

It was a great and turbulent era. A group of young Japanese fashion designers went abroad to study. At that time, Wakubo resigned from the clothing and clothing company and became an independent fashion designer without any systematic professional training.

A few years later, in her first fashion conference, she used a hunting dirge to replace pop music, smeared the model with weird makeup and chaotic hair, and moved her beggar dress with dark, broken, asymmetrical and unstature onto the T platform, and immediately attracted the attention of the global fashion industry.

Of course, this kind of shock and criticism is far more than surprise and appreciation. Even the media has plainly stated that the clothes designed by Chuan Jiu Bao Ling are simply the prison clothes in the Nazi concentration camp.

Even when her design had once violated the public anger, Wakubo Rei still had a weak look. She still had her own way, never changed her love for black, and even brought black to the T stage of the whole world.

She is a paragon of paranoid achievements, and others say that Wakubo Rei is not paranoid. This is the persistence of fashion predictions.

History has always been a successful man in writing, but fortunately, Wakubo Rei can see his weird ideas in life when he saw 20 years later, and this has made a tragedy for her personal history.

Compared with Paris's high-end fashion, Sun Ying Hui and KENZO returned to Tokyo's reinventing style of Lssey Miyake and Yamamoto Teruji, and even compared to every successful designer in the fashion circle, Wakubo Rei was an exception.

She did not study seriously and did not major in costume design. All of his ideas originated from Tokyo's native land but deviated from the pure national track. Her queer ideas and ideas seemed absurd and unreasonable, but in fact they were deep and bottomless, even surpassing the avant-garde America and punk origin of England.

Wakubo Rei always wears a mushroom head and wears a black dress all the year round. He keeps a low profile and refuses thousands of miles away.

She never cared about other people's approval, but only about sober and independent aesthetics.

"Now we are in a world of money supremacy, and we have lost some of our independence and innovation. The values are: easy and easy.

Perhaps it is this sober and independent attitude, coupled with some humorous and ridicule of anti fashion, coupled with her inherent talent and sensitivity, can make the dressing rules of "Comme" des Garons, which belonged to the "Garons" inside and outside the world, become the trend today.

Q&A

TO: what kind of clothes do you dislike?

I don't like clothes that show up.

TO: are you a feminist?

My goal is that every woman can have her own life and satisfy herself.

Women do not have to dress up to please men, emphasize their bodies, and identify themselves from the satisfaction of men, but use their own ideas to attract them.

TO: have you ever been in a dilemma when balancing creativity and price?

The business I am doing is a creative thing, and in the same way, I will not make any compromise, even in the face of a lack of agreement with the partners in cost control.

TO: how do you balance creativity and sales?

We always have good ideas and then add a lot of business elements on this basis.

As long as the underlying ideas are good, the business part will grow stronger.

TO: will you participate in the design in person?

Yes, I will draw in person.

The design of all Comme des Garons, whether it's printing or something like that, storefront layout, or a season of new products, each has my own distinct style. Every aspect of the company needs to work together to form a unified style. That's why I want to control the Comme des Garons world.

TO:Comme des Garons gives most of the impression that it is exaggerated. Do you agree with the need for creativity to be "sensational"?

Our aim is not to be sensational, but to create something new.

TO: why do you stay away from the media for many years?

I hope journalists' friends are concerned about my work, not my own.
