Rei’s Greatest Hits

That appears to be the thinking behind CDG Evergreen, a new line from Rei Kawakubo that reprises the best looks from her Comme des Garçons archive. Restless spirit that she is, though, Kawakubo couldn’t resist a tweak here and there—these clothes are more remixes than reissues. In other words, don’t think you can just pull an old CDG suit out of your closet and achieve the same effect; everything here has been quietly modernized. That jacket from a couple of seasons back may now have a slightly slimmer profile, while other pieces sport inside-out seams and subtle changes in color or fabrics, which are dominated by washed wool, cashmere, and alpaca. Over time, hits from future collections will presumably be incorporated into the line, though the jury’s still out as to whether spring 2006’s Jagger-lip outfits will become evergreens. |
