While I might admittedly prefer collars more prevalent in the 1940s and 1970s, you can't ignore the '80s forever. This shirt from Comme des Garçons Homme Plus looks like it was ripped straight out of the 1989 film Slaves of New York, with its classic silhouette and larger than life flourishes. It also doesn't hurt that the price seems to be from a bygone era as well.

It's that wonderful time of year when Fall-Winter items from the various Comme des Garçons collections start rolling into shops, and I'm as impressed as ever. Although there are a lot of standouts, this wonky creation is one of the best. It is a truly bizarre construction but, in my opinion, not too costume-like to be unwearable, existing in that rare sweet spot Rei Kawakubo so frequently inhabits.

Words

Of the three collections presented in Paris last week by Comme des Garçons, Homme Plus was a definite standout. From the intimate setting within an old, derelict apartment to the wonderful music, interesting pace, and subtle interaction of the models, it evoked a certain intrigue, drawing you into the clothing further. With a theme of "broken tailoring," Rei Kawakubo aimed to break down classic shapes and functionality, and through superior finishing and subtle detail, was able to create something that felt quite fresh.

There is a strong theme of black and white polkadots and stripes in the spring CDG Homme Plus collection. While some of the shirts look quite nice, its the socks which look like the easiest purchase.
