Gang of Four is a great write up by Cathy Horyn about the Rei Kawakubo and the empire she began in 1996 called Comme Des Garcons. Kawakubo has produced some king of dynasty with Comme Des Garcons, a lable which can appeal to many different demographic's with great appeal. This profile provides some very a interesting and fascinting view on the great label and designer so head over to NY Times as this is a more than worth while read.
