Comme Des Garcsons and Communism leftovers in Georgia

Taking a big pause in writing was hell of a bad decision, as we all know that when you quit from this, no matter if you intend to come back to it or not, you will still have to start all over again from a fresh start. So when I decided to make an entry after a long period of time I decided that it should be nothing else but about this really interesting project which I came up to few years ago on the Internet and which made me redefine the way I saw the Fashion industry itself.

So, as I said my favorite brand Comme des Garcons and their project had a great impact on my understanding of fashion photography and made me reconsider the field of fashion industry I wanted to work in at a time.  The project was shot in soviet Georgia in winter 1989/90 . No models used, all in pictures are locals, sometimes they are wearing their own pieces styled up with some of Comme details and sometimes the look is all by Comme, Style is all by Rei Kawakubo. Photographer : Brian Griffin. What I like most about this photo shoot is that it was a tense moment for Georgia struggling to get independence and this images capture the peasants and the country itself in a very difficult time span.

The pictures appeared in SIX edition, a magazine which is published by comme des garcons.
