Referencing the university's yearbooks from the 1990s, the collection's melange of tailoring and varsity wear was a 'study of academic wardrobes' and 'how people connected to hip-hop sounds and culture'.
The result was a confident and clever offering of their Caribbean couture: perfectly tailored jackets interweaved by needle-punched wool, draped dresses and trench coats constructed from trousers, and suiting paired with their now-iconic shoe developed in collaboration with Reebok.
Named after the 'bleak' Californian town where he grew up, the designer described 'collection proportions' as 'grotesque and inhuman in a howling reaction to some of the most disappointing human behavior we will witness in our lifetime'.
For her collection entitled Spiritual World, Rei Kawakubo explained in her translated show notes that 'white is the symbol of prayer'.
