The Japanese push in the 1980s set out to NOT make&nbsp;"unwearable" runway clothes. Sure our eyes needed to adjust &amp; many didn't like or "get" them&nbsp;but when you put these clothes on you saw how they worked &amp; how they related to your body. Honestly I can't see that happening with these pieces </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hectic-comme-des-garcons-fall-2014-collection/page/2#post-1183270 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 15:37:37 +0000 Claudia 1183270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My first&nbsp;impression is Dr. Seuss meets Tim Burton.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now to go back and really take it in and mull it over. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hectic-comme-des-garcons-fall-2014-collection/page/2#post-1183216 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 14:35:14 +0000 Aziraphale 1183216@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I think this falls into the "you're kidding" category.

I am so inspired to transform my black puffer coat! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hectic-comme-des-garcons-fall-2014-collection/page/2#post-1182860 Mon, 03 Mar 2014 01:00:15 +0000 MovingFashionForward 1182860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find many of the pieces absolutely fascinating and so much more practical than many a boring standard outfit seen on some other catwalk shows. It may not be to everyone's taste but it is to mine, and were I of a mind to spend vast amounts of money on designer clothes, it would be on clothes by Thom Browne,&nbsp;Comme Des Garçons, Gareth Pugh,&nbsp;Yohji Yamamoto, Junya Watanabe, and the odd piece by&nbsp;Ann Demeulemeester, Rick Owens, and&nbsp;Threeasfour.&nbsp;</p> <p>And yes I would most certainly wear them.</p> <p>Thom Browne and others present shows of unwearable clothes (though I personally wouldn't put much of the recent&nbsp;Comme Des Garçons show in that category) but it is not just about publicity in my view. These designers are&nbsp;presenting new ideas in fashion, and many of those ideas do filter down in some way. At any rate I have noticed ideas from&nbsp;Thom Browne's extremely unwearable shows being copied by other designers and appearing on the high street some years down the line.</p> <p>I have always shuddered at the thought of wearing a puffer jacket and have never been able to bring myself to wear one despite how practical they are in very cold weather. Until I saw this jacket:</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://cdni.condenast.co.uk/1280x1920/Shows/AW2014/Paris/R-T-W/Junya_Watanabe/00280h_1280x1920.jpg">http://cdni.condenast.co.uk/12.....0x1920.jpg</a></p> <p>Junya Watanabe took the ugly puffer jacket idea and created something stunning, that I-who-hate-puffer-jackets would LOVE to&nbsp;wear.&nbsp;I'd call that genius, myself. Same with many a&nbsp;Comme Des Garçons piece.</p> <p>Sure, they take risks, and I often hate many of&nbsp;the pieces, but I'd still rather look at those collections than the boring ordinary 'wearable'&nbsp;collections that I personally would never wear, or at least, when I have done I have felt embarrassed and inauthentic and have wanted the ground to swallow me up.</p> <p>For me it's about new ideas, trying things, MOVING FASHION FORWARD!</p> <p>Sarah </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hectic-comme-des-garcons-fall-2014-collection/page/2#post-1182402 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 15:34:15 +0000 Angie 1182402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jokes aside, and despite showcasing hectically over the top runway shows,&nbsp;Commes des Garçon makes wearable pieces every season - to Caro's point. And to Denise's point, this is a marketing strategy. Look at the attention this show is getting. You'd definately&nbsp;peek into their store if you walked past it. So there you go.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hectic-comme-des-garcons-fall-2014-collection#post-1182370 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 15:15:27 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 1182370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And if the levee breaks, you can be your own sandbags.</p> <p>Anyone else suddenly have a craving for soft-serve vanilla ice cream? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hectic-comme-des-garcons-fall-2014-collection#post-1182308 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 14:27:40 +0000 Neel 1182308@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exhibit 12 is genius.

But it's so hard to see this as "ready to wear" unless you have a service dog and a butler to carry your things, and perhaps to carry you over puddles. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hectic-comme-des-garcons-fall-2014-collection#post-1182249 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 10:59:31 +0000 Deborah 1182249@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I find the designs intriguing to look at at and view it more as art I suppose.

But the green lip color is just what every senior woman should woman should be wearing.<br /> The designer must have been influenced by a long cold winter of puffer coats, wind chill turning lips blue, and crazy hat hair static. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hectic-comme-des-garcons-fall-2014-collection#post-1182106 Sun, 02 Mar 2014 03:20:58 +0000 Gigi 1182106@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is so funny!
