sjálfur Terry Richardson en fyrir framan
linsuna eru Lea Michele, Dianna Agron

ímyndað sér, sem þekkja til verka gamla
pervertsins Richardsons, eru myndirnar á
mörkum þess að vera prenthæfar í virðu-

Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion
Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion is the first
exhibition in Europe to comprehensively survey
avant-garde Japanese fashion, from the early 1980s
to now. Curated by the eminent fashion historian
Akiko Fukai, Director and Chief Curator of the Kyoto
Costume Institute, the exhibition explores the unique
sensibility of Japanese design, and its sense of beauty
embodied in clothing.
Japanese fashion design made an enormous impact
on the international fashion scene in the late 20th
century and designers such as Issey Miyake,
Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto redefined
the very basis of fashion through their radical formal
language, intellectual approach and ingenious
reinterpretation of tradition. Their works are shown
alongside Kawakubo’s protégé, the techno-couturier
Junya Watanabe, together with the acclaimed
Jun Takahashi, and the new generation of
radical designers including Tao Kurihara, Matohu,
Akira Naka and mintdesigns.
The exhibition is co-organised by Barbican Art Gallery
and the Kyoto Costume Institute.
Tickets from £8 online/£10 on the door
