Rei Kawakubo

Born on October 11, 1942 in Tokyo, Japan. Is the founder of Commes des Garcons. However, she never studied fashion, because she graduate in Philosophy and Literature at Keio University, and upon graduating from college in 1964, she began working in a textile company in the advertising department, beginning Make his own clothes, and a decade later, he decided to create his own signature. She is also known because of Edna Moda, a character in The Incredibles, as her character and personality inspired the creators of the film.

When Commes des Garcons was created, Rei decided to come to Paris, achieving it a decade later, in charge of reinventing all the canons of gender, beauty and sewing in the fashion industry. When she arrived in Paris, she showed a collection of black dresses that were destroyed, along with Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto, (I'll tell you about them later), a trend in international fashion during the 1980s, showing a style that defied the glamorous Western style, being austere and deconstructive with a feeling of anti-fashion. She also wanted to break sexism in fashion using his own color code, and served as inspiration for other designers like Martin Margiela and Ann Demeulemeester, both from Belgium, and the Australian Helmut Lang.
