No shows, all showrooms, lots of citron presse, still Paris in the sun.

After the shows end – this season quite spectacularly and poignantly with Miuccia's multi-layered fame diatribe at Miu Miu – it's good to give yourself a day to catch up with all the showroom innovation you never got a chance to get to during the hubub.


Comme des Garçons' authorised tie-up with The Beatles estate wasn't represented in Rei Kawakubo's brooding catwalk show (although that might as well have been staged accompanied by Lennon and Ono's apocalyptic White Album opus Revolution #9) but we think this project is too POP not to be seen asap.

Ol' Rei O' Light – more appropriate by the day – delved deep into the Beatles graphic archives, or so I'm told, and has produced some Sea Of Holes T-shirts that will look just great alongside a black Junya combat pant and a Comme brothel creeper. Elsewhere there's Apple handbags, Yellow Submarine formal shirts and the sort of Abbey Road zebra crossing tribute that is sure to sell out in Harajuku.

This writer has already put his name down for the perfect black polo shirt. With one very small black Apple logo and one slightly larger, flourishing green one, it's the chicest tribute to John/Yoko, to Lennon/McCartney, to '67/'68 and to life/death you'll see this side of a tangerine Fred Perry.

Remember those Nina Ricci shoes she dreamt of? Well, this morning she’s clomping round the office in a pair… Still, anything is better than hearing yet another anecdote from a weekend spent on the ‘Gay Lawn’ at Hampstead Heath with a boombox blasting Galaxy FM…

World Exclusive!

 

This label is going to be hot, and not only because almost everything comes in at under £200. Comme des Garcons have followed-up on their brilliant H&M collaboration by launching a a new credit crunch busting label they’re calling BLACK. The label will be sold in 11 new stores around the world – every nook and cranny designed by La Grande Dame herself, Rei Kawakubo.

 

We got our hands on some world exclusive pics of the brand-spanking new Tokyo store. Artworks by Russian artist,

Kerim Ragimov. Looks blue-chip! (Or, should that be black-chip.)

 

Don’t hold out too long to get in on the action here, as Comme des Garcons tell us this line will only be around for a year and a half…

 

She’s got a little Rei of Light!!!…
