Although I admire Kawakubo and Westwood, this aesthetic is simply worn out. It's been done TO DEATH up and down all markets and just looks dated and worse, CHEAP: it looks like something from Bill Tornade.
If anyone is allowed to take fashion into new territory and not be crucified, it is CDG but I think all wells run dry after awhile. I can't remember seeing anything really desirable in the store really for a number of years now. Geniunely disappointing. I'd like to ask why she gets away with referencing so blatantly while others get scolded? Is it not the same?

Well unlike Galliano (and I am a fan) I think she has more conviction perhaps. But I agree even the hats are similar to those mad hatter style ones Westwood did. I don't know I'm not ready for constructed punk to make a comeback , it's too easy.

The other half of the show is up at men's style....I'll post the rest in a bit, if no one else does.

Really, one can find overstyled rubbish like this in the lowest of cheap lines straight from the markets!
Those flaccid peg pants are miserable and the skorts are going straight to the discount outlet.

I have to agree with Bidwell. I've always been a very strong supporter of Comme Des Garcons....and I've actually purchased MANY of her pieces throughout the Comme legacy...mostly jackets and knits...but I'm really tired of all the "referencing" she's been doing.
Upon reflection...it sorta started with that Stormtrooper helmut collection..then, The Pink Panther, The Rolling Stones, etc etc. I liked Comme more when she didn't rely upon referencing her collections...she didn't really have to reference anything...the clothing once used to speak for itself?? I do like this collection...but it certainly looks like the kind of stuff you could find at any alternative, low-market, fashion boutique. Her collection for Summer seems a bit more original....the collection where everything is based moreso on the layering pieces in 3's. Rei goes back and fourth...she references something....and then, she doesn't referece something so blatantly. |

You can find almost everything at cheap stores, but never nearly the same, in term of fabrics, cut, textures... Of course not the more eccentric pieces, like Yamamoto's jacket with built-in shawl, suspenders...
I love that she is using a lot of graphics and uses jkt as tshirt. It's of course tricky, since there are already a lot of ill fitting jkts with loud gothic lettering out there in street wear. The styling is superb. i have never seen H+ models so cute :-D with such shiny hair.
