&quot;Fight with color.&quot; Overlapping of fabrics and clashes of colors and imprints are the anti doto of Rei Kawakubo in the dark of contemporary society. And the result is a hypervisual swirl with a cheerful attitude

<p>&laquo;Color resistance: fighting with color&raquo; which in a moment of social darkness, like the present one, becomes a symbol of joy and a cry of freedom. Rei Kawakubo&#39;s manifesto for <a href="https://www.lofficielitalia.com/uomo/comme-des-garcons-homme"><strong>Comme des gar&ccedil;ons</strong></a> is clear and determined. The lights rise and between the columns of white marble a squad of boys with bright clothes burst onto the catwalk. It is a rowdy chaos of colors, a fun entropy of imprim&eacute;, a jumble of layered patterns. On the head, wigs of albino braids. I wear a whirlwind of different colors and patterns that seem to be assembled haphazardly. The show is not a canonical fashion show: no classic catwalk but a proscenium on which groups of models adorned with scalp necklaces in shock colors move excitedly. They wear spotted, flowery, tartan and grisaille, macro checkered and stripes, cartoonish patterns and monogrammed selvedge canvases but also harlequin patterns, rhomboid optical or rainbow stripes. In a whirling and agitated chase of color, shouted even when buying in plain colors. Because it&#39;s a scream of sunny yellow or fiery red, bubble gum pink or lawn green. Because the manifesto is clear: using color as a vehicle to combat contemporary social grayness.</p>
