i recently got a new magazine from the UK called AnOther. and right smack-dab in the middle of it was an article on miss Rei Kawakubo. it made my little heart jump with joy and its simply amazing.

heres a little snippit from the article, but i suggest you buy the magazine at your local borders for the full effect.

"In person, the designer is as hard to pin down as her clothes. That she dislikes the face-to-face interview is clear. When i first met her, i questioned her on the thinking behind her most recent offering; she sat down, drew a picture of a circle on a piece of paper, and promptly disapeared. Since that, we have met on many occasions. Her company is called Comme Des Garcons - as opposed to Rei Kawakubo - because as she has told me, she 'just likes the way it sounds'. "






"Ive been in this business for 20 years and i know how tough it is to do the things you want to do. Rei doesnt compromise, nor should she. No one should compromise. Compromise makes people dull." -Alexander McQueen.
