While in New York, I visited the Rei Kawakubo exhibit at the Met. It was a bit smaller than I expected after seeing the China exhibit they did for a previous Met Gala, but it was still amazing to see such a wide variety of Kawakubo's work on display and to be able to see her clothing up close. Additionally, it was great seeing a Japanese designer being introduced to a more mainstream audience. The best part really was seeing all of the clothing within inches of your face and being able to see the craftsmanship that went into each individual garment.
