7.3 Child/Adult

from 7. Self/ Other, wherein ideas of hybrid identities are explored...

in Kawakubo's words, "From the beginning, I dispensed with any pre-conceived notions about Western and Eastern social mores and cultures, as all these things are irrelevant to my world... . I deliberately cast away all questions of upbringing, nationality, sociology and the like." 2011

too cool for school

Saturday, on the crosstown bus,  I caught a sliver of this great look:

Comme Des Garcons Play stripe t shirt,
(I glimpsed the signature red heart),

multi hued striped knit cardi,

jeans and chunky leather belt ...

not shown here,  orange Crocs

and a wonderful green and white cotton rope market bag...

lots of color, texture, wit and style...
