This is another book worth reading for all those interested in cutting edge fashion pieces. The Cutting Edge provides  insights into the birth of the innovative fashion industry in Japan. It is essential reading for textile makers, designers; students of fashion, design and visual arts and anyone interested in contemporary Japanese culture.
Below you can find the pre taste of what the book has to offer from some of the greatest and most influential designers of all time, such as Hanae Mori, Kenzo Takada and the 'Big 3' - Rei Kawakubo (Comme des Garcons), Issey Miyake and Yohji Yamamoto.
