Description:

Text engl/japanisch. – Jürgen Lehl (*1944) represents a cultural amalgam that is reflected in his design philosophy. Born in Poland of German nationality, he has lived in Japan since 1971. He founded his textile design company, Jürgen Lehl Co. Ltd., in 1972, producing a ready-to-wear line of clothing in 1974.His clothes convey united elements of both Eastern and Western fashion. In 1982 Lehl's contemporaries Yohji Yamamoto and Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons founded a fashion revolution when they showed their respective collections in Paris, introducing clothes that were Asian in origin and inspiration, with few concessions to traditional Western ideas of dressing. The clothes presented a design theory that contradicted established Western modes yet immediately became essential dressing for any serious follower of 1980s fashion.
