Comme des Garçons

At Paris Fashion Week creative spark was scarce, but there were bolts of imagination from designers across the aesthetic spectrum, writes Angelo Flaccavento.

A handful of the most interesting designers showing at Paris Fashion Week owe a debt to Comme des Garçons founder Rei Kawakubo, writes Tim Blanks.

Sarah Burton saying goodbye to McQueen gives pause for reflection on the question of legacy. So does Rei Kawakubo with yet another exercise in abstraction.

The Paris menswear shows had a postcard-like feel, but there were standouts that proposed a shift in dress as well as a spectacle, writes Angelo Flaccavento.

Rei Kawakubo and her acolytes Junya Watanabe and Kei Ninomiya continue to offer the most idiosyncratic takes on fashion as we don’t know it, writes Tim Blanks.
