I recently went to see Future Beauty: 30 years of Japanese fashion at the Barbrican Art Gallery and I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
There also happened to be a small section about androgyny which I found especially interesting as it relates to my professional project. It looked at 3 Japanese designers; Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo and how their garments 'conceals the male and female figure in flat lengths of fabric...designers dismantle notions of gender'.
