Not that Rei Kawakubo needs any introduction, but her name has been louder than usual this fashion week. Jonathan Anderson’s incredible sophomore men’s collection for Dior took many cues from Comme des Garçons Homme Plus, especially in its distorted, tweaked tailoring – pure Rei at its core. And the collection she presented yesterday was nothing short of powerful. Kept strictly in black and white, it was beautifully solemn and somewhat disturbing (the Hannibal Lecter masks and demonic wigs!). The way she shredded lace and tweed for her jackets is beyond words; the flower-imitating knots and draped coats are as poetic as ever. READ MY FULL REVIEW HERE.
