The surrealistic head-top assemblages of Katsuya Kamo are paid homage to by 100 Headpieces, a new exhibition and accompanying book from Tokyo’s Lafforet Museum. The show displays many of his most prominent designs for the first time, and this curated collation showcases haute-couture work and magazine editorials alongside personal polaroids and intimate collages. Kamo entered fashion working with Junya Watanabe at Comme des Garçons in 1996—he created feathered structures for the Japanese designer in his own Spring 2012 show— going on to work on campaigns for Fendi, Chanel and Maison Martin Margiela, alongside commissions for Paris and Italian Vogue, The New York Times and Dazed & Confused. “Collaborating with Mr. Kamo is an incredible experience,” says Nicola Formichetti, whose work with the visionary milliner can be seen in today’s striking images. “I think of him as an artist or head sculptor. It’s so inspiring seeing him work, creating beautiful, magical pieces.”
