Youre never wondering what the thing is, the designer said to this effect.
Theres also a friskiness to Cumings workthats the contemporary side of his aesthetic.
Its most obvious in a range of over-frayed silky separates: a dress, a skirt, a button-down.

But in the words ofMean Girls Lindsay Lohan, the limit doesnt existor it shouldnt, at least.
Cumings fabric collaging is entirely too fun for him to put it away now.
This is where Cumings eye for fabrics should not be overlooked.

His taste for eccentricity was balanced by a dose of pragmatism here that rendered a fun yet wearable collection.
Perhaps uncoincidentally, he named it Grow Up.
