Rei Kawakubo show at the Metropolitan Museum, 8/25/17

Richard and Karen and I went to the Metropolitan Museum on 8/25/17 to see the Rei Kawakubo show at the Costume Institute. She's a wacko Japanese designer, best known for her Commes des Garçons line. I have a vague memory of Diane Keaton rocking Kawakubo's oversized cotton jackets back in the 80s, but there was nothing so pedestrian in this show!

Choose your adjective:

Fabulous 

Inventive 

Disturbing 

WTF

This was our favorite assembly.

Here's a zoom in, so you can see all the gingham glamour.
