Masked Beauty at Commes des Garcons

To beauty enthusiasts, the Paris runway show of Commes des Garcons was particulary interesting. Models walked the runways wearing what looked like a facial mask. While it could have been a clever way to prep thier skin for their next show, my guess is that designer Rei Kawakubo's intent was more figurative: The inspiration for her clothing was "Cubism," and I think the masks were a nod to the African masks which inspired many of the great cubist painters, like Pablo Picasso. That's my 2 cents. What's yours?
