The COMME des GARÇONS Spring/Summer 2015 collection was all red. Designer Rei Kawakubo's theme was "Roses and Blood." From looks constructed solely with bones and tape, to dresses layered with gathered and sewn faux leather (perhaps rose petals?), to dresses with abstract patterns created with stuffing, to prints that resembled blood splatters, details that looked like eviscerated organs, corsages dripping from tape, and roses created on the top and bottom of the body with layers of ruffles, the overall look seemed to portray the madness lurking beneath the beauty of flowers. What was Kawakubo trying to convey with this non-wearable collection, which has been going on for two seasons now? I felt nothing but anger.
