Rei Kawakubo’s collection combined the playfulness of boyhood wonder in the patchwork and color choice with adult cuts and tailoring in her June 26th Comme des Garcons presentation. The fire engine red plaids, cobalt blue nautical prints combined with bubble gum pinks and sea foam greens, embellished the plethora of separates. Many young men wishing to forgo ties need not fret as silk appliqués were appropriately affixed to the blazers, as though they had casually been thrown over their shoulder to begin with. The patchwork candy colored pants and blazers were fit for a circus. The color pallet of khaki, moss green, midnight navy, heather gray and ivory suiting took a more grown up approach, and was fit for, well, grown ups. The more mature looks even had a whisper of youth as polka dot and plaid bowties were paired with argyle socks effortlessly tucked into electric yellow, hot pink, black, and cream suede loafers. The pants were cut to calf and ankle length, with the occasional skirt layered over the pants. A black stocking cap that resembled a swim cap adorned the models heads. There are parts of us that want to hold onto the vibrancy of our youth and with Rei Kawakubo collection, we are able to.
