Though spring hasn’t yet sprung Comme des Garcons was fully in bloom on Saturday. While imagining the punks in the 18th century Rei Kawakubo came up with a crafted collection of 17 outfits that embodied some serious floral explosion. Rose petals, 3D flower constructions and a number of rose prints pushed the brands girly side forward. The richest materials combined added to the luxe layering concept of the collection. Pinks and reds all over, yet it wasn’t necessary a sweet and upbeat show. Rather, those architectonic creations accompanied by those 18th century black wigs seemed to deliver a darker message. Stating there’s a revolution at hand. A fashion revolution wrapped in some glorious multiple rose-patterned jacquards, that is.
