COMME DES GARÇONS

“My Present State of Mind (rather than a theme)

Things I feel we don’t need these days:-

..the making of intricate fabrics

.. the use of complicated colours…

..patterns which clearly define the body..

..details that emphasize the clothes..

..the intention to make clothes

.. what remains in the end after getting rid of all these things is the strongest thing

like simple pebbles that you get after rough rocks have been washed over and swept down the river”

– Rei Kawakubo

“I felt the pure heart of the people through the photographs of Jamie Hawkesworth’s trip to Bhutan, India and Kashmir, and became nostalgic for Asia. This collection is an expression of this sentiment.” – Junya Watanabe

A Studio Visit with Paolina Russo and Lucile Guilmard

There is something about Paolina Russo that makes you want to be part of the gang. Canadian-born, half Filipina and half Italian, Russo grew up in Markham, Ontario, while her French co-founder Lucile Guilmard was raised in Fouras, a small seaside town on France’s Atlantic coast. Their London-based label draws on the things they grew up with far away from fashion capitals: arts and crafts, local sports, video games, music and the particular kind of imagination that comes from having to make your own fun.
