FW11 “Decadence” Reconstructed Patchwork Silk Button Up
Comme Des Garcons Homme Plus FW11 "Decadence" Reconstructed Patchwork Silk Button Up. Rei Kawakubo's FW11 runway for men was a cultural nightmare criss-crossing and connecting references to points there should be no business of having a connection to. Each model wore a crudely placed wig on top, everything below was a Pollock of Chinese patterned silks, English mad hatter silhouettes, Japanese hakamas, Vegas prints. That being said, despite the lack of any real definable signifier to process there seems to be a gravitating harmony in Rei's pursuit to find beauty in the ugly which she triumphs time and time again. Tees and button ups from this collection were reconstructed from vintage tees and silk scarves and button ups respectively. Each item is unique including its flaws, quality of silk, graphics and print. 8.5/10 condition, some flaws at the bottom right panel. Sz S, fits long, fits slim S-M.$450 -
