Rei Kawakubo celebrated two-dimensional flatness. It was all about shape at Comme des Garçons for Fall 2012. However, the celebration may have been more of a statement about the trivialization of fashion through on line media services that reduce the garments to a flat shape.

The models were featured as paper doll cut outs and Rei Kawakubo highlighted overused fashion patterns like polka dots and camouflage. Sequins for evening wear. Performance art or runway collection? You decide. Either way, no one can argue that fashion is simply shallow and mindless.
