Rei Kawakubo sent out a cryptic message after her AW19
Comme des Garçons show: “many small shadows come together to make one powerful thing.” You could interpret that endlessly, but when it comes to this faux-rubber top, we’ve taken it to mean “the whole is great than the sum of its parts”. Broken down, the coat hooks, golden cherubs and door latches are everyday ephemera; on this sculpted harness, they’re akin to amulets on armour.
