I have also been to the Barbican Art Gallery to see the "Future Beauty: 30 Years of Japanese Fashion" which focused on the work of designers such as Issey Miyake, Rei Kawakubo, Junya Watanabe and Yohji Yamamoto. The exhibit had areas dedicated to each of these designers with key garments to showcase how they had broken the boundaries and made fashion more than just functional clothing, and more a piece of beautiful art. left me in awe of how inventive and clever japanese fashion designers are. I really enjoyed looking at the shape of the clothing, wether the garment was making a statement through volume and proportion, or wether it was geometric and angular. I also noticed the colour palette of many of the designers was monochrome and the only decoration was the fabric itself, through rips, holes, pleats and tears. The garments were simple but amazing, and unlike clothes I had ever seen. The Japanese really have some amazing ideas about fashion been more than clothing and this exhibit is more like an art gallery than a fashion exhibit.
