Label Text:Exaggerated proportions and visual intricacy define this maximalist ensemble by Comme des Garçons. Titled Multidimensional Graffiti, the collection appropriated the work of 10 artists ranging from the 16th century to today. According to Women’s Wear Daily, the result was a mash-up of prints and textures that allude to “the possibilities inherent when wildly unlike visual perspectives coexist.”
