Comme des Garçons Shirt Spring/Summer 2013

True to form Comme des Garcons’ exuberant shirt line shook up the mood of menswear for spring/summer 2013 with their hyper tropical collection at Paris fashion week. Prints are key to the CDG Shirt heritage, so it was no surprise to anyone print would be key but this season in particular it was all about the feel good vibe using a spectrum of playful bright colours on painterly clustered splashes, 60’s retro florals and psychedelic tartans are panelled on three quarter length trousers, formal shirting, casual tees and play date casual two-pieces. While the later part of the collection is sports inspired updating traditional plaid shirts with bold hyper colour panelling and contrast material fusions.

Key silhouettes came in the form of deconstructed reverse panelled summer blazers, baseball varsity hybrid shirting, oversized jeans, denim culottes, 3/4 length trousers and long line granddad collar shirting.
