Cosmic Wonder

June 30th, 2009

I posted about Cosmic Wonder quite some time ago and since then, designer Yukinori Maeda has expanded it from conceptual clothing label to include a book project, exhibition space, new clothing line (Cosmic Wonder Light Source) and expansion into installation and performance – although, if my memory serves me correctly, Cosmic Wonder has always included some kind of performance aspect in the presentation of its collections. From what I can gather, Cosmic Wonder has become the umbrella term for the larger project and Cosmic Wonder Light Source is the clothing portion. Cosmic Wonder isn’t simply the realization of Maeda’s singular vision, though; collaboration plays heavily into every aspect of the project.

The latest Light Source collection featured models in an office-like performance setting. I love the humourous Monstera leaves as necklaces. I’ve posted several photos of this collection below and a couple photos from the 2006 Cosmic Wonder exhibition.
