With a monumental retrospective of Rei Kawakubo\u2019s work for Comme des Gar\u00e7ons taking place at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the master of avant-garde presented her Spring\/Summer 2018 collection in Paris. Imagined in collaboration with her husband and CEO of the label Adrian Joffe, this line is a perspective on the very essence of the Japanese fashion house. Just like a number of designers that presented during this Paris Fashion Week, Rei Kawakubo questioned the silhouette of tomorrow.<\/p>\n
One of the main characteristics of tomorrow\u2019s men\u2019s fashion: defy all prerogatives of gender and sex. Rei Kawakubo sent a legion of uninhibited young men in sequined, leopard, or bright velours shorts down the runway, allowing them to frolic and play until the light of day. The CDG Plus man is made for the dance floor. Powerful blasts of colorful light were projected out while a disco soundtrack gave unique meaning to the burst of colorful pieces that mixed with the equally colorful light. Has Rei Kawakubo ever been clubbing? \u201cNo, never.\u201d she mentioned after the runway.<\/p>\n
Rei Kawakubo is also unveiling her collaboration for next season with French artist Mona Luison, who\u2019s created a number of incredible fantasy prints for t-shirts – just as she\u2019s also collaborating with Nike for their famous Air Max 180s. Among the looks presented, one that particularly grabbed attention for incarnating all the essence of Comme Des Gar\u00e7ons Plus contains a Japanese tradition clearly anchored in these lines that, upon contact with sequins and brazen leopard, gets a joyful burst that retools men\u2019s fashion in Paris. The electric ambiance for the Spring\/Summer 2018 runway is accompanied by a collection that\u2019s like a project centered on how men will be dressing tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
