The Comme des Garçons show on Friday evening felt like she could not stop herself from adding more zany prints, color, texture, sparkle and volume, resulting in some of the largest, strangest collections yet.

Metal brooches and large gemstones adorned the ankle boots and Salomon sneakers.

The gargantuan Peter Pan collars had something uplifting and even humorous about them.

There are silhouettes that resemble giant turtles and conch shells. A harness in candy colors was added here and there by Kawakubo.

This mesmerizing display of dressmaking certainly on steroids, and joy unleashed, was enhanced by Meredith Monk’s otherworldly wailing.
