Rei Kawakubo's Comme des Garcons fashion show offered a surprising commentary on the overwhelming nature of global systems, stating that 'small can be mighty.' The collection featured an impressive blend of classic fabrics fashioned into striking pieces that emphasized personal expression over mass trends. Each garment presented a unique perspective, serving as symbols of memory and creativity. This collection's focus on human-scale designs echoes a call for the significance of individuality amidst a complex cultural landscape, prompting viewers to reconsider the value of small, distinct expressions in fashion.
Recently we feel that big business, big culture, global systems, world structures maybe are not so great after all, it read. But there was an addendum: Small can be mighty.
What came through in her amalgamations of classic fabrics made into what reassembled dresses, or at least dress-adjacent structures, was their human scale.
Each odd, striking piece stood on its own: a shift emerging from the labyrinth of material here, a jacket from the mille-feuille there.
Each one was like a little stack of memories, caught in the process of morphing into something else.
