TRICOT Comme des Garcons

[softgrey]

you are welcome

got to know this yesterday.
it seems that they have been doing "tricot special" since F/W 11.
it could be interpreted as tricot's capsule line where tao's involvement is more personal and her preference is more strongly manifest, that is, sort of casual (or somewhat street) and accessible rebirth of tao CdG.
of course tricot special has a different seasonal theme from tricot CdG.



F/W 11 pieces from a store named nomadic
and its tag from kikuya

very interesting to know...
i guess the pink writing on the label indicates that it is "special"?

thanks for these pics...very nice things, imo...charming...

rei kawakubo
confirmed

I like that jacket...

 

[softgrey]

thank you runner......
it's very very good...



rei really is amazing...

the work i would use for tricot under tao is 'cute' or 'kawaii'...
her aesthetic is just 'cuter' than rei's...
she's slightly more playful and naive in her designs...

rei is a bit more polished and complex...

they compliment one another nicely, in my opinion...
