RUNWAY: Comme des Garcons FW14

Rei Kawakubo sets the drumbeat she wants to follow. It was a revelation when she showed her SS14 womens collection because she did not have anything new to offer so she sent down the runway a hogwash of creative and very unwearable fashion. For her FW14 collection for Comme des Garcons, it wasn't that extreme but the collection was odd with swamp monster-ish hair and makeup. Other than that, it was quite tame since the collection focused almost solely on tailoring. Cut away circles and pockets were seen on flowy suits, while a few had zippered sides that revealed nothing but the layer underneath. The finale's array of more flamboyant tailoring showed glistening fabrics, polka dots, and just a bit of tartan.
