Comme Des Garcons for H&M f/w 08 full collection.
A pleasant compromise. It’s wonderful to see Rei has decided to stick to her iconoclast roots to create an adventurous yet commercial line. The implement of CDG’s Shirt line authenticates the entire collection as true Comme Des Garcons.
The sparse fabric choices because of the budget of the line (nothing over 350$) only slowed Rei’s train of creativity as she opts to leave the safety net of simply cotton and synthetics. All the while, the lines created by the clothes garner classic CDG silhouette.
However, the limited quantities created a niche for Kawakubo’s usual avant-garde that was not completely filled. Some safe pieces were apparent, yet even they were a pleasant addition to the collection.
What separates Comme Des Garcon’s collaboration with H&M is their unisex perfume. Although, the thought of such might be befuddling. Whether if the scent is truly genderless, or even good, it manages to make this collaboration their very own.
