The following six looks mimicked the looks we’d previously seen, only now, in sickly bubblegum pink. The last five looks returned to black once again. Moving from black, to pink to black again, it was like someone had shone a torch over your eyelids while you’re fast asleep. Or you’d fallen into a black hole and somehow managed to clamber your way out, before getting sucked right back in again. “In the end, there is black,” continued the show notes, “Ultimately Black”. But before then, there is pink. At least in Kawakubo’s world.
