No, your wireless device didn’t drop acid while you were doing the dishes…
This is an all-too intimate glimpse of what just went down at a runway show for Comme Des Garçons’ Fall 2017 collection, with Rei Kawakubo’s creations generously described by W as an exploration of “silhouette, via bulbous, amoeba-shaped garments.”
The models have either been sternly instructed to look airy and confused as they stumble aimlessly down the catwalk like they’re collecting airborne pieces of lint, or they’re genuinely as bewildered as the rest of us.
Perhaps our tastes simply aren’t refined enough. As one Facebook fashion scion writes in the comments:

The counterpoint argument comes in various shades of:
“Is that the stuff you get out your vacuum?”

Whatever. Rei Kawakubo refuses to use black and latina models. She rarely uses Asian models, and she’s Asian herself. The blobs are probably manifestations of her self hate.

Trash like all the rest. The only true visionary designer out there is Dries Van Noten. Now that is a true artist. Plebs don’t even know.
Also yay for Ephemeral Rift ASMR gif! He’s on some surrealist art shit

Dries is good but Rei is great and will always be remembered as the queen of avant-garde. Her work is amazing and no one but Margiela comes close to her greatness. Many want something more than “just clothes”.

Rei is a god in fashion and many many designers idolize her including Lagerfeld, Margiela, Marc Jacobs, etcetera!!!!
