These Patchwork COMME Des GARÇONS Homme Plus Blazers Pay Homage to War Veterans
Rei Kawakubo shifts the lens on military-inspired fashion.


For this season’s CDG Homme Plus, Rei Kawakubo was inspired by war. However, she wasn’t particularly fascinated with the usual aspects of war we see translated into fashion — for example camouflage prints and bomber jackets. She wanted to reference the celebration of post-war returns and victories. Therefore, her collection sees plenty of floral prints and unusual homages to wartime conflict. These two blazers from the collection feature a patchwork style, one featuring various floral and baroque satin fabrics for sleeves against a chambray breast while the other boasts striped panels. The former retails for $1,855 USD while the latter retails for $1,724 USD. Both are available now at Union Los Angeles.
