No one wears Comme des Garçons quite like Michelle Elie. Now, the street-style icon and Comme des Garçons collector is putting her favorite pieces on display as Germany begins to reopen businesses and museums.
” and the “two-dimensional,” geometric dress that caught Oh’s eye in 2013. Each mannequin also has a corresponding SoundCloud file so you can hear Elie narrate its significance—“when I bought it, where I wore it, and its impact on my life,” she says.; she’s more interested in the way runway garments—particularly the kind that challenge us, like Kawakubo’s—translate from the runway to our real lives. “We’ve seen these clothes already,” she says, “at the Met, on Vogue Runway, in magazines.
Unlike many collectors, Elie actually wears these clothes; in fact, she took some to Paris Fashion Week just over two months ago. She isn’t precious about them, and doesn’t invest in Comme des Garçons simply to assert her status or to own something rare. She’s a true believer in Kawakubo’s vision, and it wasn’t until recently that she could put her finger on why her work resonates so much. “I think Rei gave me a voice,” Elie says.
The exhibition is on view until August 31, and Elie hopes it will travel to other museums as cities in Europe and throughout the world begin to reopen. We may not be shopping as much as we used to, and many of us won’t be dining in a restaurant anytime soon. Even the idea of wandering through a museum and experiencing art in person sounds like a luxury. Elie hopes we’ll have a deeper appreciation for it after months of digital-everything.
