Taschen is coming out with a new book exploring Rei Kawakubo's innovative vision and legacy in fashion and design, and if there was ever the perfect gift for the fashion freak in your life, this is probably it. As head of fashion house Comme de Garçons, Kawakubo continually challenged accepted standards of beauty through subversive clothing construction and playing with the human form. The book features images by photographers such as Paolo Roversi and David Bailey as well as interviews with Terry Jones, Josh Sims, and more. Coming in at 120 pages, the book is out this December. Above and below check out pictures from the book featuring some of Kawakubo's most memorable designs. [Taschen]
