| Printed Matter @ Dover Street Market Not to be confused with Printed Matter in New York, Dover Street Market in London just opened a show up called Commes Des Garçons Printed Matter. It runs now through 11.22.08. When I first saw the name, I thought CDG and Printed Matter had collaborated, but soon found out that's not the case!! "Through the medium of specially constructed rooms on each of the six floors of Dover Street Market, nearly 40 years of strong creative vision is displayed, from images taken from SIX magazine up till our most recent work featuring Mondongo from Buenos Aires and many many others." "Rei Kawakubo has never only designed clothes, she designs the company called Comme des Garçons. This company has therefore never wavered in its quest to express its core values of creation by whatever means it can." Read more here. Checkout a sampling of images from a few of the rooms here. If you're in London or passing through, stop by and check it out. *Note for anyone who is asking: What is SIX magazine??! It was a short lived magazine by CDG that started in 1988 and stopped being printed in 1991. |
