So with sale in full swing and me getting sick of staring at all the same merchandise for the past 6 months im beginning to gear up for f/w.  Collection should start shipping in the next few months.  here are some of my favorites from comme des garcons.

This comme represents the intention of the season.  Layers with big buckle closures, redesigned basics, combinations of shapes.  Comme integrates typical, well known concepts, but will execute with skewed perspective.  The blazer has the proportion of a classic 2 btn peak but the interior vest with attached hood is produced in the same fabric questioning the authenticity of the layer.  The fabrication adds bulk to the form, but also provides comfort and warmth.  The wide leg pant is a comme silhouette from way back when.  The japanese designers will always find comfort in the flow and drape of this pant.  The continuity detail is a negative space and side buckle that mirrors the closures season.  Customer participation is required in most comme pieces, there specifically requiring the purchasing of more comme to make this pant wearable. The look either needs a long shirt or another pair of pants underneath.

This shirt will be mine.  Its nothing extremely new, ive seen similar ones here and there for a number of years, but comme button downs are my favorite.  Im a real sucker for the buttons and love the boxy cut. This shirt will come in more colors.

This shirt reminds me of an old junya womens collection that featured all these plastic buckles, i feel that men should search out these type of pieces that are detailed, but still classic.  Its a digestible simple design that says that the wearer is more sensitive to high design.

This is an outerwear piece that features a full front pattern piece.  At this point its more then a vest, its actually the front of a jacket with another jacket on top. This concept will also be seen in the DIOR HOMME collection this season.
