The avant-garde designer boldly mocked the premise that fashion needs to be beautiful and helped foster global awareness for the aesthetics of future Japanese designers. Her brand of anti-fashion has included the legendary “bump” collection, which created a deformed silhouette on runway models; she also imbued one of her fragrances with scents of burnt rubber and nail polish. An iconoclast, Kawakubo is considered a “designer’s designer” for her innovative and fearless convictions.
