Comme des Garçons Comme des Garçons Spring 2018 Ready-To-Wear...Fashionweekly...On Fow24news.com

Unstructured workwear jackets over full, wide skirts. Peter Pan collars on long, loose dresses painstakingly washed to appear spontaneously roughened. Blazers and cutaways with culottes or full pantaloons, like boys. Pinafores. Customized Dr. Martens (actually made in England)....
These are some of the client-beloved, immovable wardrobe certainties within the CdGCdG universe: As each season turns, new variations are revealed.This time round there were no bikers (a semi-regular here) but trucker jackets instead. The DMs were cut in with tartan panels, like rustic spectator shoes. Powerfully hued Stranger Things–ish sneakers were the guest footwear, while houndstooth bowling bags and woven polypropylene totes both made arm-borne cameos.

Across the collection there was a gentle play on space, form, and outline. Rose-print, ruffled orange silk, or lace-bumped floral print on white dresses were gently disorienting. On some, the Peter Pan was pulled askew to look undone. A full ruffled skirt and a plain frock, both in the darkest navy, had white-outlined memories of collars and pockets that had been removed during the design process. Cutaway coats were further cut away via jaggedly angular, irregular interventions into their hems. Sometimes a garment appeared upon second glance exactly as it had at the first—the long pink gingham dress, the pink cardigans, and some of those staple certainties listed at the top. Yet you had to look twice to make sure no sly sleight of hand had camouflaged a fresh trompe l’oeil so discreetly that you’d missed it.
