Comme des Garçons Catwalk Fashion Show Paris Womenswear SS2015

A sea of red everywhere we could look. Choosing roses and blood as a theme Rei Kawakuno decided to stick to one color of poppy red. Different textures, structured shapes and extraordinary silhouettes created enough variation in the collection though. Fabrics being shredded, fringed, slashed up and raw edged. This were not clothes designed just to look pretty or set trends in. The designs somehow breathed some of the difficult issues happening in the world right now. Prettiness versus chaos and violence, roses versus blood. Kawakuno gave us all something to think about and not just whether we’ll be sporting shorts or culottes next spring.
