news - tao kurihara closes her label

what a sad news! tao kurihara, one of rei kawakubo's protege, is closing her own label tao, 6 years after she debiuted in paris (for aw2005). her label has been produced by comme des garcons. she will now focuse on comme's tricot line.

i think my most fav tao collections would be her ss2006 (handkerchiefs) and aw2008.

here some pictures from her ss2007 collection when she used paper trips to make some beautiful dresses.

paris - androgyny

a woman in a "cross gendered", victorian dress and striped suit (that are sewn together) from comme des garcons aw2006. what is nice about wearing avantgarde fashion is that you could wear stuffs from old collections but they are still so provocative and new.
