Contemporary Japanese Fashion – the Gene Sherman Collection

Essay by Amelia Groom, interviews by Margaret Merten and Claire Roberts, with a foreword by Dawn Casey and Debbie Abraham

Published by Lake Macquarie City Art Gallery in collaboration with Sherman Contemporary Art Foundation and the Powerhouse Museum, Sydney

In 2009 the Powerhouse Museum in Sydney received an outstanding collection of contemporary Japanese fashion from Dr Gene Sherman. Gene’s keen eye for avant-garde Japanese fashion led to a generous donation of over sixty garments and accessories by leading contemporary Japanese designers Issey Miyake, Yohji Yamamoto, Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons and Sydney’s Akira Isogawa.
