SPRING/SUMMER 2018 READY-TO-WEAR

The Kawakubo angel a timelessly chic fashion goddess in her imposing white tweed suit stood out as the singular persona manifested at the center of a colorful, surreal, cartoonish, kawaii toy and computer game referencing parade. Kawakubo called it “Multidimensional Graffiti,” an apparent reference to the possibilities inherent when wildly unlike visual perspectives coexist. For her stunning array of fabrics, she appropriated the work of 10 artists dating from the 16th century to today, from Renaissance painter Giuseppe Arcimboldo’s masterfully wacky Bacchus-like portrait created from fruits and vegetables to works from e-Boy, a pixel art group established in 1997, and illustrator Stefan Marx. A rare languid item, a robe, featured right side-up and upside-down versions of one of Makoto Takahasi’s famous wide-eyed girls; a sculptural, capelike number bearing a mesmerizing scenic by the Japanese Zen monk Sesson Shukei, also 16th century.
