Description

Satori: An imperfect passage through Japanese fashion, offers an inclusive overview of Japanese fashion design that crosses disciplinary boundaries and helps define the next phase of global fashion design. It chronicles a personal forty-year passage by Susan Barnwell, sadly deceased in January 2019. Sue experienced the fantasy of theatre and television costume production in England, worked as a fashion editor of a daily newspaper in Hong Kong, and taught at Universities in Asia and North America. She worked with museums on costume reconstruction and with hospital research teams designing clothing and accessories for breast cancer survivors with lymphedema. Her multifaceted approach to design and research included exploring cultural space with aging populations in Tokyo and empowerment for sex trade workers in Toronto. With some 50 colour illustrations, Satori presents a unique record of Japanese fashion design in a book that has been keenly anticipated by scholars, students and Asian fashion stylists. And it does so in a wide cultural context – moving from the political realities of Hiroshima to emerging design philosophies Kenzo Tange, Issey Miyake, Isamu Noguchi, Rei Kawakubo and Miyako Ishiuchi. While Sue makes no pretence of predicting design futures, based on precedence she presents a clear operational framework with which to contemplate possible design pathways and their cultural implications. To this end her research was supported by a personal collection of over 100 garments designed by the Japanese fashion avant-garde. This book is essential tool for libraries with History of Design, History of Costume, and Creativity in Design holdings. Satori is edited and introduced by Sue's husband Maurice Barnwell, Professor Emeritus, Institute without Boundaries, Toronto.
