What this rather dismal film of the final walk through of Rei Kawakubo's A/W show this evening can't begin to communicate is the wonderful, unexpected palette of the collection. From sugar pink stretchy nylon and plastic, to burnt orange velvet or even the sky blue eyeshadow, the wonky colours indicated that this was no straight-forward show. The Minnie Mouse and Flopsy Bunny ears worn by the models and their clingy faux-broiderie Anglaise skirts may have seemed sweet at first, but what about the rather unsettling stuffed, applique bows and swollen dots on a slip dress? Or how about a top with padded hands encircling the torso as if someone had their mitts all over you? With these brilliant, Surreal touches Kawakubo said more about desire and Modern femininity than anything that came of a whole week of predatory, 'strong' women in Milan.
