"The impact that non Western

designers can have on the globalized market was demonstrated by

the huge success of Japanese designers who showed in Paris from

the late 1970s and early 1980s. At this time, it was still necessary for

designers to show within an established fashion week to gain

sufficient publicity and exposure to international store buyers."


"Japanese designers such as Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo of

Comme des Garcons, Kenzo, and Issey Miyake’s work shocked the

Western fashion world into the realization that high fashion could

emanate from beyond its confines. Importantly, Japanese fashion

also provided an alternative vision of body and fabric and the

dynamic between them."


"Issey Miyake, for example, produced clothes that overturned

Western ideals of beauty and form and presented tightly pleated

textiles sculpted into points that pulled out from the figure. He

recreated femininity in line with architectural notions of space,

rather than cutting fabric in towards the natural form. His clothes

often swept upwards, and jutted out to emphasize the contrast

between body and garment."
