COMME DES GARÇONS. PARIS FW 2012

It does not sound as something new that COMME DES GARÇONS Collection 

generates astonishment, 

as the creative director of the brand Rei Kawakubo 

manages to shock the public runway after runway.

However, for the FW Collection presented at the Paris Fashion Week on the 3rd of March, 

Kawakubo has given a new shape to her women.

and this is all about "tri-dimensionality". 

 

Every coat, dress and trouser shows its best in the three dimensions, 

giving models a structured shape and gentle appeal at the same time. 

The most representative side of the show was the combination of colours of the coats, 

such as the yellow and orange one

and the mix of different patterns - camo, leopard, florals and polka dots. 

As if it was a fancy dressing party

(not only for the choice of using red, yellow and shocking pink wigs); 

it seems in fact that Kawakubo's women this season want 

to be in the middle of the stage and surprise people around them.

too outrageous? too weird?

it's unconventional way of dressing, that is a given.

Either you like it or not.

I must say I love it, because Comme des Garçons is one of the few brands still able to create amazement.
