Kawakubo has collaborated with the artist Christian Marclay on graphics; Marclay is the hybrid artist-DJ-sound-wizard whose work synthesizes the raging emotion of a concert into a neat, digestible graphic work of art.
His designs are splattered across double-sleeve shirts and trousers jauntily cuffed on just one leg in a tense combination of pink and black.
The raging energy carries into even the staidest of garments. Simple button-downs—although nothing at CDG Shirt is really ever simple—come in punky red and black stripes, dot prints, and argyle patterns that evoke Saint Marks punks.
Banker-bro blue striped shirts are actually a series of shirts collaged together, some trailing like capes, others jauntily mis-buttoned around the body. Even the Asics sneakers are in white leopard print.
While other brands are looking toward a placid reemergence, Comme des Garçons Shirt asks that you stomp out of isolation full throttle.
