DARE TO BE DIFFERENT BY COMME DES GARCONS

In today´s casual frenzy which has occupied every niche of the fashion design, the experimental and extravagant concept and approach to the fashion design is something which is these days mostly rare and not so often and common. To go against the whole odds and to dare to be different is something which could be wrongly interpreted, especially in the current "parole" oriented spirit of fashion. So any attempt and any collection which is different than anything else what the fashion mainstream can offer is something we can admire too.

This kind of approach to design is something that in Comme Des Garcons is a usual thing. Having on the mind that Rei Kawabuko is the main fashion director which design is everything than boring, common and conventional, you know that from Comme Des Garcons you can expect the fashion in its pure and filtered kind of way. This fashion has the huge experimental and theatrical accent so the aesthetic could be sorted in the high profiled type of Haute Couture.

But here the word is about the latest Fall 2018 Ready To Wear collection. As you can see the concept of ready to wear is something which is strongly artistically oriented in this case. With the pretentious „un-easy“ wear potential, Comme Des Garcons offers the thing which is in today´s fashion world forgotten so often, and that is the imaginative freedom and genius witty twist. With the uber-voluminous silhouette that looked almost like it was taken from the theater scene, with the fine layers all over, the concept of fashion in this collection has taken not to serious and almost intriguingly sarcastic but all wrapped in the most innovative and exciting story.

This collection has strong expression and just because of the nature of its "parole" orientation which is not "in-your-face" kind one, it still has strong reflexion about the society and the culture in general, which has been presented in an unpretentious way. The modern "spleen" of our society is just like this collection; vibrant, perky, witty but full of distortions and deconstructive spirit. Something that we all need to think about!

What do you think about this collection? Do you find this collection interesting in the ready to wear sense or do you find it too much extravagant?

Thank you for the attention!
