Comme Des Garcons Paris Fashion Week S S 2015

So if red is black according Rei, as quoted in 1989, this collection truly realised and illustrated this idea to its full potential. The theme of the collection was blood and roses and she explored this in every way possible with a brilliant play of texture. Patent leather, scuba velvets, wools spliced into wide ribbons attached with buckles, with hints of bondage and huge pannier red patent skirts with touches of the 18th century inspiration. But taken to a place that only Rei can, modern and inspired. To top it all was huge 18th century disheveled wigs. Always such a thrill to be inspired by such a true artist.
