While holding shows around the world to high acclaim, in recent years she has opened new frontiers beyond the realm of clothing design. This exhibition, the largest ever devoted to her, presents the full scope of JUNKO KOSHINO’s work as she continually runs at the forefront of fashion and unfolds new creations. Around 200 items — including costumes, design sketches, and photographic panels — bring her allure into focus.
