‘For Something to Be Beautiful’ — Rei Kawakubo Quote Tee | Wear Words Black-on-White Literary Tee — Muscle Tank

“For something to be beautiful it doesn’t have to be pretty.” Rei Kawakubo built Comme des Garçons on clothes that unsettled before they seduced — the lumpy, padded “body meets dress” collection of 1997, the tattered all-black silhouettes Paris dubbed “Hiroshima chic” at her 1981 debut. She said this in a 2008 interview, having spent decades making beauty out of what other designers would have called a mistake.
