I always look forward to writing up @コム・デ・ギャルソン for @dazedfashion every season. It's when an instinctive sentiment about a show just flows out of you as opposed to write-by-numbers descriptions. Obviously this season, I only saw it from afar but some inarticulate thoughts came to mind
Rei Kawakubo's brief backstage quote was the "the future of silhouette", which made me think about the lack of definition in silhouette in this millennium. Or the supposed "ease", "effortlessness" and "staple" culture that fashion has fostered. This was clearly an extreme antithesis but prompts us to think about the possibilities of a silhouette that bulges in dramatic curvature and utilises everything from recycled felt and foam to intricate lace. Why haven't body lines thrown the sort of mad shapes that they once did? Why haven't materials graduated to incorporate more unusual sources? Kawakubo's vision of the future may not actually manifest but stirs questions about fashion's general stagnation
Interesting that on the eve of the @メトロポリタン美術館 exhibition that Kawakubo should expode and exaggerate one of CdG's most iconic Body Meets Dress, Dress Meets Body "lumps and bumps" S/S 97 collection. Except here,the target isn't female body shape imposed by society, but the regression of an industry littered with banality and timidity
Anna Cleveland slowly pirouetting in white tubular foam and black gaffer tape-esque leather and that almost mechanic movement reminded me of Oskar Schlemmer's Triadic Ballet. On the ballet's robotic movements, Schlemmer wondered if in the future “the act of mechanizing life through machines and technology, a trend we cannot ignore, will make us perceive the human machine and the body’s mechanisms with greater awareness.”
