For fall, Kawakubo focused again on pure fashion and the obstacles to invention.
Rei Kawakubo and Coco Chanel — do you confuse them, too? We’re to be forgiven, given their shared views on originality, each in her day insisting it’s impossible to achieve in fashion. “Only those with no memory insist on their own originality,” Mademoiselle famously maintained. Kawakubo, too, has noted the elusive nature of pure invention, particularly the longer she works at her craft. The more she discovers, achieves, creates, the harder it is to top herself.
With that extravaganza behind her, for fall Kawakubo focused again on pure fashion and the obstacles to invention. “Is it not impossible to make something completely and utterly new, since we are all living in this world?” Kawakubo mused rhetorically in her program notes. “So continuing my work as a perpetual futurist, I worked from within the CDG world.”
That, of course, is a verdant world to mine, as Kawakubo’s compilations are both signature and iconic, her constructions wonders of imagination and craft. Certain elements recur in her work over and over again in new, ever fantastical iterations. Here, she made specific references to past collections.
