Darkness has different degrees and ways of expression. In the latest collection of Comme des Garcons darkness comes not through the colour black, but mainly because of the make-up or because of the models who walked as if they were sick or really troubled. Also, one important detail: their hair was really wet, but it didn’t look fresh and healthy, but more like weird and creepy. Kawakubo took elements that apparently work together in a very normal way, and changed then to such an extent that a shirt and a tuxedo no longer look common when mixed together.
The collection focused primarily on layers and on different materials but together. Also, colours and textures mix, but the show started with some all black looks. The jackets have tulle fabrics that flow. The models looked like walking zombies at some point, with make-up all coming down and clothes teared up. Everything became lighter the moment when colourful bermuda shorts matched shirts that were also colourful.
“I’m not interested in rules, or whether they are there or not. I do not consciously set out to break rules. I only make clothes that I myself feel are beautiful or good-looking. People maybe say that this way of feeling is against the rules.” says Kawakubo, an artist with a strong direction, famous for her independence and her vision.
