I cannot find any reference.

18th Century Punk
The collection of Rei Kawakubo's 18th Century Punk, conflates the pneumatic structures and hyperbolic silhouettes of the 1700s with the leitmotifs of 1970s punk, including fetishistic hardware, harness, fastenings, and materials such as plastic in Pepto-Bismol pink. Their anachronistic employment of multicolored floral jacquards (not available until the 1800s), often paced and collaged together, recalls an earlier punk-inspired collection, Adult Delinquent. At the tine of its making, Kawakubo declared, "I am an adult delinquent to the end."
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute spring 2017 exhibition, Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between, on view from May 4 through September 4, examines Kawakubo’s fascination with interstitiality, or the space between boundaries. In Kawakubo’s work, this in-between space is revealed as an aesthetic sensibility, establishing an unsettling zone of oscillating visual ambiguity that challenges conventional notions of beauty, good taste, and fashionability. A thematic exhibition, rather than a traditional retrospective, this is The Costume Institute’s first monographic show on a living designer since the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition in 1983.

The Future of Silhouette
Autumn / Winter 2017 - 2018
Dresses of white synthetic wadding.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute spring 2017 exhibition, Rei Kawakubo/Comme des Garçons: Art of the In-Between, on view from May 4 through September 4, examines Kawakubo’s fascination with interstitiality, or the space between boundaries. In Kawakubo’s work, this in-between space is revealed as an aesthetic sensibility, establishing an unsettling zone of oscillating visual ambiguity that challenges conventional notions of beauty, good taste, and fashionability. A thematic exhibition, rather than a traditional retrospective, this is The Costume Institute’s first monographic show on a living designer since the Yves Saint Laurent exhibition in 1983.
The exhibition concludes with two "objects for the body" from Kawakubo's most recent collection, The Future of Silhouette, made from what the designer describes as "non-fabrics," or non-woven, non-fashion materials. Here, white synthetic wadding recalls her earlier crinoline-like ensembles featured in Then/Now. While the shapes of those garments have their origins in the mid-19th century, however, the forms of these pieces — distorted, malformed hourglasses—have no historical or, for that matter, social or cultural referents. This links them to the eccentric, engorged creations from Body Meets Dress—Dress Meets Body, except that these works notably lack openings for the arms.
Despite the fact that these pieces bind the body physically, they unbind and liberate it culturally. Fashion, by its very nature, is defined by a society's idealized representation of the female form. These two "objects for the body," however, not only dismiss but also contest and subvert accepted canons. Early in her career, Kawakubo explained, "I work around the figure, but I am never limited by what the figure has to be." In her hands, the dressed body is freed from bounded notions of place, period, and purpose, fully occupying and expressing an "art of the in-between."

"The problem is I'm not a good photographer. To be perfectly honest, I'm too shy. Not aggressive enough. Well, I'm not aggressive at all. I just loved to see wonderfully dressed women, and I still do. That's all there is to it."

....some exciting news I had to share .
In Oct. I received an e-mail from a Mr. Yoichi Imai graphic designer at a clothing company called Comme des Garcons in Tokyo Japan asking if I was willing to sell my rose mosaic image as they would like to use it as their christmas campaign on paper and fabric.
This past Thursday I received a package from Comme des Garcons a sample of few of the items they used my image on.
I was overwhelmed at the contents of the package and especially the Barbie doll...my image on Barbies dress...how cool is that!!!!!!
I had no idea exactly how the image was going to be used and this took me totally by surprise.
I wish you all a wonderful holiday season:))

Chris ...do you remember the comment you left on my rose mosaic "What a wonderful collection of roses Shams ....... and they make a beautiful collage. This would look lovely as a greetings card or wrapping paper!"
Never in my wildest dreams I imagined that my image would attract this kind of attention.
