The Metropolitan Museum of Art is opening the doors of its latest fashion exhibit, “Rei Kawakubo: Art of the In-Between.” Racked got an advanced look at the show, which focuses entirely on the work of Rei Kawakubo. Over the course of her long career in fashion, the 74-year-old Comme des Garçons designer has consistently challenged our definition of clothing, and this exhibit has it all: garments that look like literal pillows, garments that look like literal paper bags, and a lot of garments with no sleeves whatsoever.
