So far none had managed to overcome Alber Elbaz collection for Lanvin in beauty, but Comme des Garçons has just done it with a surplus of ambition and risk that have to be appreciated among all the commercial proposals.

Hasta ahora ninguna colección había conseguido superar a la de Alber Elbaz para Lanvin en belleza, pero Comme des Garçons la ha igualado con un plus de ambición y riesgo que se agradece entre tanta propuesta comercial.

In this collection, Rei Kawakubo has brought together all the classic CDG: the peter pan collars, the muted palette, the knits and sheer fabrics in outfits composed of multiple layers (congratulations to the styling).

En ésta colección Rei Kawakubo ha reunido todos los clásicos CDG: los cuellos peter pan, la paleta de colores apagados, las lanas y los tejidos transparentes que confluyen en conjuntos compuestos por capas superpuestas (felicidades al estilismo).

All this is joined by her already popular way of constructing garments, making of this collection a masterpiece.

A todo esto se une su ya famosa manera de construir las prendas convirtiendo así esta colección en una obra maestra.

  16. Jo, hace tiempo que no miraba tu blog, discúlpame. Pero coincido contigo en todo. Hasta los huevos de Balmain e impresionante CDG. Después de ver su desfile, todo lo demás de París dejos de existir para mí.
