Better than last season, but I think this is as "good" as it'll get.The 4th and last looks are my favourites of the lot.

More pieces for the MET collection.

 

[Cocteau Stone]

It's great, if not amazing, from a technical point of view. Some of those patterns would have been utterly ridiculous to make in a head turning way, and then later to sew it. Interesting textiles too.

But it's been the same kind of thing for seasons now so what is the real point of all this? Been done so many times what else is there really to say with this approach despite being the best at doing it. They say it's anti-fashion, but I think it feeds into the ridiculousness that always shrouds fashion even more now. It bypasses the "fashion pack snob" stereotype but goes into "fashion analytic elitist". And trust me, universities/institutions that say "we're not like typical fashion people" generally are, it's just a deviation of that attitude.

I love Rei, but frankly, I'm beyond tired with all of these.

I don't care for all of these, come back to me when she designs clothes and not sculptures again.

look 14 is unbelievable! so good!

 

[Salvatore]

It looks like that current trend of “fashion shows be like” circulating on social media right now. I rarely, if ever, look at CdG and say I need that or at least think something is interesting/beautiful.

Maybe I am just not intellectual enough to get this and I am okay with that.

 

[runner]

the reason she does "clothes that are not clothes" now is because she can not figure out her next move.
I can not think of musicians who have released new album twice a year for 47 years, keeping certain quality.
fashion designer is a profession of hell. and besides this line there are homme plus, comme comme, etc, and she has to take care of the company in this difficult time.
but CdG is a label which proclaims itself a constant producer of something new. I have to say there is less point in doing it than there used to be.

clothes that are not clothes (instead of something else that is not a garment). this touches the secret of the world for zen (that is, A is not A. that's why A is A). there is still room for exploration here. and it should lead somewhere other than gonta-kun deluxe.

I find it so boring, beyond boring.
I don’t mind Art, fashion beyond clothes or wearability but the more I see it, the more it makes me think of a designer living in the ivory tower and creating for her bubble….Which is puzzling because I know she is not that type of designer. She understands the world and she is genius. In this troubled times of fashion, you wants some re-assurance from the masters like what Yohji, Armani to some extend, are able to do. You don’t want a master adding more noise…Because this really looks like a pile of stuff.

Video is beautiful

 

[YohjiAddict]

Reminds me too much of her last show before the pandemic which was already a sort of reprise of silhouettes from past collections, just rendered in slightly different proportions. I still get excited with her new shows but this one isn’t doing much for me.

I do appreciate her continued work with laser cut appliquéd “lace”, which makes look 7 one of my favorites. 1, 2 and 18 are not bad at all. I’ll take her show from last season over this one though, it was more concise.

 

[runner]

the parts never represent the whole. and the whole betrays the parts. though this could be an interesting point here.
"a tragedy when seen in close-up, but a comedy in long-shot", in the words of chaplin
this is tragically beautiful when seen fragmentarily.

I'm not super into this collection per se, but I am just wondering, does anyone here know how purchasing works? Is it as easy as contacting the store after the show? I've always wondered about the process at cdg
