In a world where ready-to-wear rules, it's refreshing to experience the art and insight of Comme des Garçons. Rei Kawakubo scales it way down for retail, so don't doubt, even for a second, that she's unaware or uninformed in respect to marketability. Her wonderfully sculptural pieces captivate us on the runway. It's one show-stopper after another. This was the season of the "witch" for Comme des Garçons... Witch being a metaphor for "powerful women." The collection was voluminous in scale and proportion with black, white and blue as the color choices topped off with, literally, with vibrant red hats. Good witches. Bad witches. Which are you?
