Accompanying a major exhibition at the V and A, this work looks at the three main trends which are currently do minating international fashion: the arrival of the British superstar designers; the European conceptual, minimalist movement; and the highly influential, radically different Japanese designers. Both the exhibition and the book explore these worlds through the work of a small group of visionary and uncompromising individuals: Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan, Helmut Lang, Martin Margiela, Rei Kawakubo, Yohji Yamamoto, Junya Watanabe, Jean Paul Gaultier, John Galliano, Issey Miyake and Azzedine Alaia. The creative processes of these designers are explored in the book and their most recent work is presented in a series of stunning photographs, accompanied by stimulating commentary from leading fashion and cultural historians. With an innovative design to reflect the contemporary nature of its subject, Radical Fashion should appeal to anyone interested in the style and glamour of today's fashion scene
