The boundaries between skin and clothing are as fluid as they are between art and fashion. This volume explores this surrealistic interzone in which shoes sprout hair and people become sculptures, in works by artists and designers such as Louise Bourgeois, Nick Cave, Helen Chadwick, Hussein Chalayan, Comme des Gar?ons/Rei Kawakubo, Salvador Dalí and Robert Gober.
