Abstraction found new meaning at Comme des Garçons this season. Rei Kawakubo’s Spring 2026 collection, After the Dust, was a reminder that beauty can rise from imperfection. I really loved it. The colors were my favorite part, soft yet rough, like faded petals against raw canvas.
Kawakubo’s show opened with cotton shells and scarlet satin interiors that looked almost alive, like cocooned forms breaking open. Every piece felt like a question about what “perfect” even means. Layers of burlap, jute, lace, and calico were bundled and reshaped into abstract silhouettes. Some looked like sculptures, others like fragments of memory stitched together. Her note, “I believe in the positiveness and the value that can be born from the damaging of perfect things,” set the tone completely.
There was something almost emotional about watching those strange, bulbous shapes move, like they carried stories of survival and renewal. The humor of oversized hats brushing the ceiling only added to the humanity of it all. This collection wasn’t about clothes in the ordinary sense. It was about transformation, about turning what’s been broken or discarded into something poetic.
