WAT?! YES! So I guess this means Comme Des Garcons finally showed. I've been waiting to view their collection since before NYFW. Cool. And that's a really interesting comparison, and totally relevant as well in my opinion.

hahah!! It's just like Comme des Garcons clothing to have the weird and the creepy come together and makes something great!! I love this line and the movie the shining is a personal horror favorite of mine :).

The song Seeing Double on the album Kissing and Dancing is what I imediately thought of when I read the title of this post (for obvious reasons). I'm also pretty sure you'd enjoy Madeline's voice.

I've wanted to post a coment for awhile. I'm 15. I love everything about you. Be my best friend?

Geneva Hopson said...

This is a total non sequitur comment. I apologize. I suspect you've already heard Helium, but if you haven't, they might be right up your alley. I love Mary Timony in this video... I remember seeing it when I was very young, and not being sure if I was afraid of her or if I wanted to be her. My feelings haven't changed much.

They're freaky. But good choice :))

Unknown said...

When I saw the Kawakubo's show I thought to the Conjoined twins too and I was a bit frightened from this similitude... Inf act this outfit is a bit "terrific" and the link to the horror film is obvious!!!

However I love the creativity of CdG and, by the times that CdG appears on your blog, I think that you, also, like this brand!!

These remind me of Diane Arbus' photo of twins.
http://diane-arbus-photography.com/
Maybe it's symmetry that attracts us? I don't know but to me twins are endlessly fascinating.
