The Complete Story of ‘Lumps and Bumps’ - Comme Des Garcons Spring 1997

Today, we’re covering a conceptual triumph of fashion as a medium - Comme des Garçon’s Spring 1997 show - Body Meets Dress-Dress Meets Body. This show lets us into incredibly important fashion designer Rei Kawakubo’s process as an artist, as we discuss how her impact in business and culture through this crucial show. The knowledge that I gained to make this video over the course of 3 years is supplied by authors on the subject whose work is listed below. We’re going to go deep into why this show is the best, most important, most revolutionary fashion show of all time. Through the original runway show, as well as her collaborations adjacent to it such as with Visionaire Magazine and Merch Cunningham, we will learn how concept made its way into fashion to stay for good - almost like this is some paid online fashion school :) Watch Exclusive Videos: https://www.patreon.com/BlissFoster Follow me on IG: https://www.instagram.com/blissfoster/ Read the Visionaire Magazine 20 copy here: https://www.archivepdf.net/comme-des-garcons-visionaire-20-1997 Big thank you to ArchivePDF for providing access to high-quality images.
