Comme des Garçons Homme's spring/summer 2015 is very Junya Watanabe. The designer, who has been with the Comme des Garçons since 1984, is known for his patchwork of designs—something that combines natural and synthetic fabrics with technical precision. For spring/summer 2015, Watanabe has done just that.
The collection starts with tonal, unstructured suiting, really shining with the patchwork shirting underneath. This includes polka dots, stripes, paisley, and chambray fabrics all together. The suiting focuses on the tailoring, adding in additions like technical fabrics and alternate pockets. It's an unstructured suit that you'd traditionally see in the warm weather, with a slight twist.
With the high-cuffed trousers and baggy, casual tops, the other aspects of collection seems altogether youthful. Casual garments include a striped hooded pullover and trousers, a red gingham lightweight field jacket, and two slouchy cardigans.
The colors range from black and navy, stretching out to a vivid red. For a designer like Watanabe, who often combines the traditional with the technical, this choice to mix darker-hued tailoring and youthful expressive silhouettes is classic in its own right.
