Rei Kawakubo describes for Comme des Garçons a story that takes its cue from the book by Virginia Wolf, Orlando, set in the Elizabethan period

<p>You are right even when you are wrong. This is what the followers of <strong>Comme des Gar&ccedil;ons</strong> claim, when Rei Kawakubo, founder and creative soul of the Japanese brand, pushes a little too much on the acceleration of experimentation. Often it happens that the desire to go beyond the standard vision of a wardrobe takes the hand, giving life to sculptures that walk, enigmas of style not at all easy to decode. However, for Spring-Summer 2020, the problem does not exist, since the show is a crescendo of 100% Comme des Gar&ccedil;ons, but with a touch of lightness. Which always means important volumes, overlaps, egg-shapes designed to embrace the body, which remains somewhat legible. And opulent fabrics, including flowered brocades, lace, feathers and embroidery, a tribute to the court of Elizabeth I, as Virginia Wolf imagined in Orlando. They will always be in very few to wear one of those pieces, designed more to convey a statement than a product to sell. And the message, this round, puts you in a good mood.</p>
