comme des garçons s/s & f/w 1998
we play by ear but learn the words by heart
(visions we have by head); yet even when
the sight of the remembered page has dimmed
the jingles that we gleaned from it remain
lodged with us, useful, sometimes, for the work
of getting a grip on certain fragile things.

the hollander quote, the haute couture and the music you’re playing all fit so well together, joanne. a complete sensory experience!
I knew it was CDG before reading the text. Kawakubo’s clothes are unmistakable. And I love that, I love the way she has been keeping her signature style over the years.
