do you have any info on the collection?
i see most of them are patterned velvets..

but there are a couple which seem to be made of something else, the strange way they drape..

No gius,i don`t have information on the fabrics and never heard of a site, that delivers reviews of the older runway shows.

I love this collection, its`s robe like coats and fabrics, patterns and the combination with mens shoes. It is one of my favorites. Generally i like the dropped shoulder coats/ tops in cdg womens and also mens collections.

This is one of my absolute favorites as well, and one of the first CDG collections I ever saw. Thank you SO much for posting...

I also love the dropped shoulders and the padded wraps. And the richness of the textiles is gorgeous with the primitive shapes.

Rei Kawakubo remained on a color kick for Fall ’96, trading in Spring’s rainbow brights for a muted palette lifted, it seemed, from the Old Masters. The designer’s choice of brocaded velvet—the show was titled “Flowering Clothes”—contributed to its arty vibe.

The show was an intimate one, presented in an anachronistic boxing ring–like setting. “Kawakubo’s spectacle of doe-eyed models silently posing in richly hued flocked-velvet smocks felt more like a private viewing of a Vermeer exhibition than a trumped-up fashion show,” wrote Vogue. While some of the mantle-like coats could be described as monastic, the same could not be said for sweaters with Basquiat-like scribbles, pointed-toe men’s shoes, or coquette’s elbow-length gloves. Seductive is the right word for the clingy, layered jersey dresses at the tail end of the show, while “childlike” flower prints were more playful. Punk made its presence felt, too, in the oversize safety pins used as fastenings. To Vogue, the clothes on “Kawakubo’s doll-faced dreamers” seemed to possess “a naïve carelessness that set off a whole new mood in Paris”—one that offered an alternative to the prevailing mode of minimalism.
