His sundried colors, the monastic grace of his tailoring, are a direct reflection of the Japanese design innovation of the past decade, especially the work of the formidable Rei Kawakubo. Gigli has simplified and styled down many of Kawakubo's more cerebral inventions for her Comme des Garcons line, added a dash of Milanese insouciance and found himself among the hottest designers in the marketplace since...
