Comme des Garçons SS27 Swallowed the Body Whole

Who said clothes have to fit the body? For Comme des Garçons SS27, Rei Kawakubo inflated the shoulders, waist and hips into volumes several times larger than the human frame, rebuilding the silhouette from scratch. Polka dots, checks, bright red ruffles and electric blue turned the runway into a parade of walking sculptures. Towering headpieces rose above each look like paper crowns.

The first look was a navy denim structure. Arms disappeared inside a round torso, and the skirt hem ended in sharp red ruffle teeth. The second look wrapped the body in cascading red polka-dot frills that piled up like inflated petals. The third paired a pink-striped overcoat with a cream dress underneath, topped by a folded-paper crown headpiece.

Kawakubo focused on inverting the relationship between clothes and body. Instead of clothes following the body, the body was trapped or erased inside the garment. Volume expanded at will, ignoring human proportion. Here, beauty was not about harmony but about disruption.

Comme des Garçons pushed the question of how strange clothes could become rather than how pretty. For them, the strangest shapes may become the most beautiful. Do you agree with these silhouettes?
