Comme Des Garcons: "Body meet dress, dress meet body" S/S 1997

and on the other hand, Sarah Mower in her review of the spring-summer 2006 CdG collection says:

Some of it triggered recollections of Kawakubo's infamous "lumps and bumps" collection from the late eighties.

Thank you for all the research, photos, video everyone. I thought it was fall 96 or spring 97---it was starting to drive me crazy. I do think it is still a little confusing as it seems that more than one collection is referenced with "lumps and bumps." I'm certainly glad I'm not referenced that way! Er...at least not that I know of.

Am the only one who thinks this collection set a defining moment on the fashion world?

Like a landmark?
