Re-Imagining Gender: Rei Kawakubo and Vivienne Westwood

Rei Kawakubo and Vivienne Westwood are widely celebrated as fashion designers who questioned, reimagined and transformed the way we think about fashion.

NGV curator Meg Slater leads a conversation with NGV Senior Curator of Fashion and Textiles, Katie Somerville alongside fashion designer and master patternmaker and founder of 1990s label Rude Boy, Glen Rollason, to consider the queerly inflected nature of Kawakubo and Westwood’s approaches to fashion design.
