        Thanks for posting this laika. I was wondering what it is like working for Rei after watching the documentry. This article explains a little :)



        I can see the tremendous pressure working for her. Her face shows "you better give me something good" in the studio.



        It's interesting to know that Rei does actually smile and laugh.

          What's the going rate for a wax model these days? I'll have to add one to my F/W 08 wish-list.

            hehe, tell me about it! By the way thanks for the article, really enjoyed it. There's no doubt that her moment has passed in terms of having amajor direct influence onthe way modernwomen dress, but I do think that her work and her methods of working do still inspire many other desigers, and therefore indirectly I think she's still quite important.

              Bumping this up, it's a great article that I was re-reading while thinking about the CdG collaborations going on.

                  ^it's Fumito Ganryu, who's mentioned in the first few paragraphs of the article.

                      I must be blind, cause I remember reading it and not getting the fourth designer's name, so I never bothered to reread it.
