COMME DES GARÇONS
“My Present State of Mind (rather than a theme)
Things I feel we don’t need these days:-

.. the use of complicated colours…
..patterns which clearly define the body..

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

– Rei Kawakubo
