Comme Des Garcons Homme Plus 2009 Reworked Jacket

A reworked jacket from Comme des Garcons Homme Plus, drawn from Rei Kawakubo's 2009 work for the line. That archive season leaned on trompe l'oeil and panels of contrasting fabric set against otherwise traditional tailoring, a quiet subversion of the suit that ran through the collection. Here the idea carries into a one-off piece, reconstructed from the original garment so the alterations become part of the design. It reads as a study in how Kawakubo bent menswear conventions at the end of the 2000s.
