RUNWAY: Comme des Garçons SS19

"Crazy suits", the title of this collection, is right. Rei Kawakubo's latest collection took on tailoring - a topic that's been all over the place this season, whether it's heritage labels such as Corneliani trying to navigate a world where hoodies are more favored than suits in the business world or Raf Simons who has said enough with the sportswear. Here, Kawakubo takes a different approach for her Comme des Garcons Homme Plus collection: she plays with the suit to make them youthful and fun, taking the seriousness of what they mean away and imbuing them with frivolity via bold colors, snazzy patterns and out-there shapes.
