what are those rockabilly shoes called? creepers-something? i like those
Comme des Garçons Mens F/W 06.07 Paris
Here we go. Teddy boy influence is pretty obvious. I like it way more than her Rolling Stones collection. It seemed a bit boring at first and the cut of certain pieces is questionable, but it grows on you eventually. I would definitely wear some of this. Apart from the ugly spectator shoes of course

Junked red theater seats were stacked in the gloom, Tom Waits intoned a creepy poem, and the atmosphere was generally pregnant with menace—then out of the darkness ambled a Teddy Boy, the original rock 'n' roll rebel. Drape jacket, bolero tie, hair swept back in a D.A., two-tone brothel creepers…in other words, every mother's nightmare in the 1950s. It was that rebellious attitude Rei Kawakubo was keen to tap for her latest Comme des Garçons collection. "Life lived to the fullest," was the way her husband and business partner Adrian Joffe phrased it.
The Ted isn't the most original fashion influence perhaps, but there was a new appeal in the oversized proportions of broad-shouldered jackets that dropped to mid-thigh, and voluminous pleated trousers (if only because the shrunken silhouette's dominance has become so numbing). Drapes came single- and double-breasted, in pinstripes, panne velvet, or sparkling like a bandleader's. Some were decorated with strips of fabric that also traced the leg of the accompanying trousers.
Fringing on shirts and jackets had the flavor of a C&W bad boy; the hand formation known as the devil's horns, printed on another shirt, added a hint of heavy metal. So did the barbed wire and chain-link fence prints. The models, meanwhile, moved at a snail's pace, a development we've seen several times this season, leading one adroit fashion observer to remark that "slow walking is the new sashay."

*sayan said:im not sure of what im about to say, but..I think i heard or read that she never looks into other designers collections..i maybe wrong though, but that would explain the rockabillylatness, we need to see more before we can judge...I love rei too much to refuse what she gives me
this rumour seems to get about a bit. but I've consistently seen pictures of rei in the front row at way too many fashion shows to believe that she never looks into other designers collections. seems to me like she's very much on top of what's going on.
i don't like the collection as a whole, or in the way it was assembled on the runway. but there are some beautiful pieces there that i certainly wouldn't say no to
