From the pioneering work of couturier Hanae Mori, to the radical, all-black rebellion of Rei Kawakubo and Yohji Yamamoto, and the experimentation of Issey Miyake, Japanese designers have consistently upended fashion conventions. Their work reimagines tradition, pushes materials to their limits, reinvents construction, and reshapes the dialogue between body and dress.

In this floor talk, NGV curator Charlotte Botica introduces a new focused fashion display at NGV International that features fifty-eight works from the NGV Collection that highlight the remarkable influence and impact of Japanese designers on global fashion practice from the late 1970s to today.
