Hyper-organized chaos is Rei Kawakubo’s signature method of design. She always finds some new way to deconstruct the most basic garment and turn it into a work of art. For Comme Des Garcons SS 2011 there were a lot of spare sleeves and asymmetry which in conjunction with the styling of the girls hair and make-up really eluded to a trip to the mental ward.

Designer of
Unholy Matrimony,
Brett Westfalls was
invited by Rei Kawakubo of
Comme des Garcons to Japan and given his own studio to create 16 full looks for the SS09 Collection which hit the Paris Runway the last week of June. Although the aesthetic of the pieces shown on the runway carried a CDG aura, his work was very distinguishable from the rest of the collection. We could definitely sense his rock n roll/grunge circa 90′s influence that is undeniably present in Brett’s personage.
