FUTURE BEAUTY 30 YEARS OF JAPANESE FASHION AT THE BARBICAN

Helena and I visited this exhibition back in November as part of our cultural research of Japan, in a fashion context. It was a really great exhibition and there were some amazing original pieces on show from iconic Japanese deigners such a Issey Miyake of course & Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo, Tao Kurihara...


"Japanese designers introduced revolutionary conceptual form and the language of deconstruction thereby changing international fashion forever" -Barbican, 2010
So far through our research I think we have discovered that Japanese fashion and design is like no other, unique in its daring ways that other cultures just haven't captured. The beauty industry should follow suit...there is a definite gap in the market for innovation in cosmetics!!
