My good friend David buys a lot of Comme des Garcons for his concept store in Kiev, Atelier 1. He said that the Comme shows were sometimes very frustrating, because there was rarely a lot of clothing on the catwalk that could be worn by real men. He and the other buyers used to sigh and try and fill their quotas with the shirts (which, by the way, are the some of the best menswear shirts on the market.) So I was very surprised to see a ton of easy clothing in this collection, in fact, its probably my favourite Comme des Garcons menswear collection ever.
I Adore…
lots of grey velvet, and fur trimmed parkas.
the slick grey tailoring, the blue socks and shirt, and the asymmetrical vest.
rugged tailoring and the visible pocket bags.
the shiny slick hair, black outfit, and pink socks.
pink shoes and blue socks.
I Loathe…
four piece shorts-and-trousers suits made with tacky fabrics.
crotchless grey chaps shorts worn over blue trousers. (I guess I should be happy they are worn over something, and not nothing at all!)
more crotchless chaps shorts, this time way too long.
