Dreaming of Bill Cunningham at the Men’s Wear Shows in Paris

By GUY TREBAYJUNE 28, 2016

“Bill would have loved, as did this observer, the sheer improbable beauty of a Comme des Garçons Homme Plus show that took some of the themes and gestures that have preoccupied the Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo over the decades: transparency; the vulnerability of an exposed body; the formality of frock coats contrasted with the inherent intimacy of outer garments made to look like underwear; the use of signifying patterns, like those she deployed Saturday afternoon of the mute classical mouths; and the blankly unseeing eyes created by the Italian artist Piero Fornasetti.

Rendering many of the clothes in peekaboo shower-curtain PVC, Ms. Kawakubo bundled the entire enterprise into one of the protest statements she has increasingly made part of her otherwise often gnomic brief. For once, Ms. Kawakubo’s thoughts required little translation.”
