Comme des Garçons 2012FW “2 Dimensions” Runway Rose Print Coat

From Comme des Garçons’ Fall/Winter 2012 “2 Dimensions” collection, built around Rei Kawakubo’s provocative premise that “the future’s in two dimensions.” The collection reduced garments into exaggerated, paper-doll-like silhouettes and deliberately clichéd motifs including florals, polka dots and leopard print. This runway coat combines an oversized flattened silhouette with an all-over rose print, its broad sculptural collar and rigid, graphic construction turning a traditionally romantic floral motif into something deliberately artificial and two-dimensional
