Comme des Garcons S/S 2006 Paris

[KhaoticKharma]

From what I see, It looks alot like the S/S Menswear collection (well, the line is called 'Like the Boys' en Francois)... they go together. I think the Ad campaigns should take place in a dingy factory .

I see no lips:-P

You aint seen nothin' yet. It aint over 'till the fat lady sings...

 

[helena]

poC what do you think of the clothes?

 

[The Baron]

Fat lady sings, eh?

Maybe Quentin Crisp will come out in his Queen Elizabeth getup from the film Orlando, wearing the final piece de resistance of the collection!

It's Rei...anything could happen.

 

[PrinceOfCats]

True, baron.

poC what do you think of the clothes?

It's not stunning is it? Maybe Ms. Kawakubo has a bobby dazzler in the bag yet though... (or maybe she has a Hot Licks jacket just for nqth )

(or maybe she has a Hot Licks jacket just for nqth )

Oh do you know what I don't:-P Hope you are right, tho:-D

PoC.....you are a barrel of laughs tonight.....but enough already.

I am waiting to see the rest of the collection before I form a view. Unsure of the Brit theme..or is it a homage to westwood... i'll wait & see.

But Comme very often made tartan, in all possible variations. The "twisted lump" or bag (or what ever it is called:-) is also their - remember the AW03 pilgrim collection?

I see more of VW shapes in JW show - when the model turns you can see the all the VW's "woman" shapes and diagonal cuts... And the short jkt with round, breast-exposing front...

 

[helena]

yes nqth I agree...i saw the humps but didn't know what collection that was. tartan is almost appropriated by the japanese they adore it so much.

 

[nqth]

It's this collection:-) AW2003

I kinda liked teh last pic ... with the flag imprinted on that see through white fabric ... not that I'd wear but it wud be nice to apply that technique to ... skirts!

 

[softgrey]

nqth...
that is what immediately came to my mind as well...
and it's true about the red tartan...
...

 

[Spacemiu]

it's all symbols and surface. but, it's a universal thing, it's like people all over the world needing to create a mythology like with the Undercover collection.

Absolutely agree. I think it's very very intresting, but I'm really obsessd with symbolism and mythology.

I think it looks fantastic! I really like the wraped/lumpy tops.

 

[nqth]

OMG it is a beautiful collection. I think it must be aroung the "twist" or "wrap" word.
Not a flat piece of fabric!

Military, and camouflage, of course:-P

 

[zamb]

christmas in london with the british royals?

i dont like it, not after the bridal stunner of fw05

rei is always interesting though..................

OK some more pics from catwalking.com. It seems to me like a bit of a William Wallace feel in some of the clothes! Maybe the theme is Scotland (wallace) vs England (Queen) (although of course it was a King Wallace fought against).


Anyway, I think some of it is truly breathtaking!
