Peter Lindbergh, Tokio Kumagi / Tokio Kumagai Printemps/Ete 1988



Edition : First / Paris / Tokio Kumagai / 1988-1989 / Softcover. / Near Fine / VG+
Large 4to, 2 volumes, Unpaginated (ca 16pp each). Printed wraps. Duotone plates.

Stunning 2 volume set from Kumagai's peak, with Lindbergh shooting women in menswear, and men in menswear respectively. The work is up there with the best of his Comme des Garcons output of the same period. Kumagai sadly died in 1987 at the age of 40, with the company winding down shortly after these catalogues were produced. During his short life however, he extended a strong influence over menswear and Tokyo/Paris fashion. Printed records of his work are extremely scarce.
