Exploring Art, Knowledge and Movement in Japanese Fashion

By Vivien Jiaqian Zhu

The Japanese concept of "ma" intrigues fashion designers' imagination of the space between textile and skin. Exploring Art, Knowledge and Movement in Japanese Fashion tells a philosophical story of the Greek poiein, avant-garde Japanese fashion designers, the Paris high fashion scene, and Chinese classics from early modern to contemporary times. It traverses the terrain of history of art, performance studies, religion, and the eighteenth-century literary masterpiece The Dream of Red Chamber (Hongloumeng, Story of the Stone).
