The Comme des Garçons "Universe"

[nqth]

Oh it's just my speculation:-) Comme doesn't have the "logo" yet do they:-P.

btw Junya made Lacoste polos for SS06, with the crocodile being placed a bit higher.

Posting images and quoting articles is OK as long you state the source, so go ahead!

 

[softgrey]

I 've found out that CdG Noir is now shown in Europe as sort of women "evergreen":-) Very few items every coll. I saw a v. nice, clasic trench coat in "liquit wool" with clear plastic collar here in Warsaw.

Here are some interesting Kawakubo quotes from a book based on a 2002 NHK special on CdG.
"I have only done what I found to be beautiful at the time. And there was a big backlash against this. Almost for the first time, I learned that beautiful things for me are not necessarily beautiful to everyone else, but they could well be something very scary. That, as a result, inflamed me to go on and stimulated my following creations. I would never be content making garments everyone else finds beautiful. Instead, I became defiant asking people why they don't understand this."
"Supposed everyone likes my collection and says, 'The show was great' and 'The clothes were beautiful,' then I become very uneasy. I would hate myself for having made something so easy to understand."

Wow, she must really hate herself these days, then

I like that she isn't so pretentious that she won't admit that. And I like that she actively likes to make people think in a business where that doesn't lead to financial success.

As REI KAWAKUBO says : CREATION IS THE BE ALL AND END ALL....she strongly belives in something and that's why I love her!!
