RUNWAY: Comme des Garcons SS14

Rei Kawakubo showed a subversive and punk inspired collection for Comme des Garcons SS14. Ruched leather pants paired with an elongated shirt sleeves under a slim fitted jacket opened the show that then merged gothic romanticism, the idea of gallant knights in leather jerkins or vests, with punk aesthetic that included slicked hair and heavy eye make up to create a collection that was different but on trend, a hard feat to accomplish . The conceptual Japanese designer lightened the mood with a series of colorful florals, graffiti- and anime-inspired prints while the finale pitted bandanas with crisp shirts and a varying array of bottoms.
