Rei Kawakubo put on a hugely enjoyable display of over-the-top fabulosity for this Comme des Garçons collection. The show was a veritable festival of frills, fantasy and flowers – her vision of super-girly charm, taken to delightful heights of excess. In the current age of austerity, tension, and strife, it was a refreshing gesture to see Kawakubo giving full rein to the enjoyment of sparkling surfaces, textiles, and prettiness.
