Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons
Fall-Winter 2017

As a person who rejects references and is a fierce pursuer of the new, Rei Kawakubo delivers a powerful consistency for fall-winter 2017 collection of Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons where consistency, as mentioned, lies in its reinforcement of key Comme des Garçons codes.

This collection sits in between “Art of the In-Between”, as suggested by the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Play line. Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons hits a sweet spot of Comme-ness in terms of accessibility. Rather than offering clothes as a work of art or clothes as an expression of idea that people would love more to stare than to wear, Rei Kawakubo executes Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons in a way that is easy to wear, yet with her expression continues to be intact.

The usual Comme fabrics—flannel, serge, twill, all inevitably shot through with synthetic—were deployed in full-skirted smock dresses, pinafores, and volumized double-breasted duffle coats. There was purposeful crumpling and fraying on wide-leg pants and trousers in nylon, sometimes blue, others in a delicate gray herringbone. Shiny totes were decorated with a pattern inspired by something that Kawakubo had seen while on holiday in Morocco.

Some dresses and skirts in a rough nubby fabric were layered with panels of lace and tartan, as for a whisper of punk. This is a collection that, in parts, you could imagine being worn as convincingly in Dickens’s London as on George Lucas’s Tatooine.
