Forty years after Rei Kawakubo founded Comme des Garçons, we still know little of the fiercely private designer, who rarely provides a photo or an interview. For the 2015 legends issue Vogue Paris had the rare opportunity to shoot with the cult label’s creative director, one of the most venerated figures in design – the best term we could find for a creator who states that she does neither art nor fashion.
