“Philosophical Fashion” — a series inquiring into the meaning of clothing today, when trends change with dizzying speed, driven by the phenomenal rise of “fast fashion.” Featured in this series are creators who consistently propose new fashions on the basis of an enduring concept. The first exhibition in the series will examine the project “FINAL HOME” of fashion designer TSUMURA Kosuke in 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa.

“When people lose their home, their final protection is their clothing.” The nylon coats born from this concept have received the name FINAL HOME. Tsumura first created FINAL HOME in 1994.

Compelled by his mission as a fashion designer, Tsumura has continually pondered the relationships between fashion, society, and the natural environment. Through the activities of FINAL HOME, this exhibition will examine the roles played by clothing and fashion.
