Spring 2010 – COMME DES GARCONS

You can always count on a Comme des Garcons collection to be entirely different from what other designers are creating. This season, the collection was full of scraps of fabric crafted together making everything very structural. What really stood out as a theme in this collection was the idea of layering unexpected pieces together. Soft flowing dresses were contrasted with leather harnesses. Basic cotton leggings were balanced by shiny spandex biker shorts. The looks felt a bit heavy for spring (and even more so for summer), but once the pieces are separated they will add depth to what can otherwise be a very boring outfit.
