Ngaphambi kwe Comme des Garçons Uhlelo lwanamuhla, umyeni kaRei Kawakubo, u-Adrian Joffe, udlulise umlayezo wesizini: “Ijazi elingcwele.” Noma ingabe lelo “doli”? Noma ingabe umehluko wawubalulekile? Izimbobo, ngemuva kwakho konke, zinobungcwele obuyinqaba ku-Comme des Garçons saga. Ngenkathi uRei eqala ukubonisa eParis ngo-1981, amajezi akhe agcwele izimbobo - uhlobo olusha lweleyisi, wathi - agxumela phezulu njengophawu lwamaqaba emasangweni osiko lwemfashini yaseFrance. Eqoqweni lakamuva likaKawakubo lamadoda, izimbobo zaphakanyiswa, zahlanganiswa ngokucophelela zibe amajakhethi, amajezi, nezicathulo-ngisho, kwezinye izimo, ezifakwe i-velvet.
Kodwa ukubekwa kwabo ngamabomu kwabonakala kukhulu. Emajakhethi, izimbobo zawela lapho amaphakethe azoba khona. Lokhu kwaphakamisa ukungananazi kokusetshenziswa okubuye kwafakazelwa yindlela oziphu ababesetshenziswa ngayo. Amazinyo ayeqhelelene kakhulu ukuthi angavaleka, okwenza olunye uhlobo lwembobo, olubi lapho igebe elingenakuvuleka lelula ubude bomgogodla. Lokhu kuyiqoqo le-Comme, kungenzeka ukuthi kube wukwenza okujwayelekile ukukhiqiza into entsha yokuhlobisa. Noma kungenzeka ukuthi lisho okuthile okujule, okumnyama mayelana nobudoda: okuwusizo okwenziwe njengento engenamsebenzi. Futhi uma besingagijima sinombono wokuthi amabhantshi “angcwele” kunokuba nje “ayizimbobo,” indlela amabhande ahlukene ayesetshenziswa ngayo njengezikhafu yayingase ifanekisele izembatho zezingubo zesonto.
