Future Beauty

Future Beauty at the Barbican

30 Years of Japanese Fashion: 15 Oct, 2010 - 6 Feb, 2011 at Barbican Art Gallery


This is the most anticipated exhibit this winter and this is first exhibition in Europe. These works are related with Japanese art, culture and costume history.




Issey Miyake 132 5. (2010): This dresses are packed flat and then opened into highly structured 3D clothes.

In my view, this is the highlight of the exhibit include the designers exploration of flatness. I was not sure that would get a relationship between fashion and architecture. These idea of flat shapes becoming 3D clothing. 132 5. is the current project that takes its from the transformative process of its creation. That was the radical reinvention of traditional Japanese garments and techniques, such as Kimono.
