I went to see this fantastic exhibition. The Barbican is one of my favourite places in London, it feels like it was designed as a set for an old James Bond film. It's a real example of beauty within.
But anyway, the exhibition. It had these fantastic pieces of silk fabric hanging from the ceiling which divided up the room. The type was printed on this fabric. A fantastic variety of clothing on mannequins, the odd name I recognised however most was unfamiliar.
Some of the films captured me the most with Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto talking about their experiences and how they ended up in fashion. Kawakubo was working on the sets for television adverts at the time and resorted to making her own clothes as the ones supplied just weren't quite right. She kept on making ... Comme des Garcons ... the rest is history.
