also now and then knots and concatenation have been there as if they were traces of resistance to the drive towards disintegration, amorphism.

good words-
i knew this oneamorphism
a characterisation of objects without form, or with random or unstructured form.

but this one is new to me-
seems like it's a mathematical or computer programming or SMS term?
concatenation
a series of interconnected things or events.
*seems to have something to do with string theory?

very interesting, sir...
interesting indeed...

i think whether one agrees or not,i appreciate any kind of food for thought…any time one can dissect and come up with theories and back it up much deeper than the oversimplified,vacuous fashion-speak i am all for. and i certainly don't think that's a call for mockery either.

I love this type of stuff. If Comme designed this way for men I'd wear it, but maybe not on public transportation...

 

[softgrey]

those DIY's seem to have some good taste a bit on the fetish side.
here another two.
necessity comme and ordinary comme.

then it reminded me of this...spirited away comme...
maybe this is quite literal since this is a monster...

thanks ma'am
I didn't know the word concatenation is such an infrequent appearance.
to be fair, there is this stuff, "the iconography of durer's knots and leonardo's concatenation" by a. k. coomaraswamy, and why I knew the word.
those and it could also have something to do with arabesque and grotesque patterns, labyrinthine universe and its order in chaos, etc.

^^ ah...thank you for listing your reference!...
that makes it easier to grasp and to understand in this context as it applies to this collection...
definitely not a word you hear often...
but i think that's appropriate...
this is not the type of design you see often...
so it might take extraordinary words to describe it well...
