Like all of Kawakubo’s collections, SS25 gave way to many different interpretations. Some silhouettes seemed to evoke both the fragility of porcelain and the protection of armour, and both might make sense given the uncertainty of Kawakubo’s imagined future. Elsewhere, dresses resembled delightful but ultimately useless mantelpiece ornaments, while other models looked like they had been wrapped in streams and streams of cotton wool.
