COMME DES GARÇONS HOMME PLUS FALL/WINTER 2021 MINI-SHOW

DARKROOM Creation can arise in a dark place where not only the visual but all the six senses come into play. It is in this world sunk in darkness that we must search and find something new. Just as photographs reveal their images in the darkroom, so can creation, development and progress, we believe, also come out of darkness. Collaborations Nike Foamposite Sneaker (Black and White): While there have been many collaborations over the years, this is the first time an original mold has been created. The ripple-like three-dimensional pattern that covers the shoes is a new design by CDG Homme Plus. Artist Willie Cole (@williecoleart) “I came across the sculptures of the New Jersey based artist Willie Cole which included these powerful masks made up from black high heeled shoes. I am constantly looking for strong images and I suddenly had the idea to ask Willie if he would consider to make headpieces instead of face masks using black high heeled shoes. Even though he had never made any headpieces, he readily rose to the challenge and we worked together to create these headpieces that you see in the presentation. I also worked with photos on fabric of the original masks in the collection itself.” -Rei Kawakubo Music Tim Love Lee has created an original composition called E7007 @tim_love_lee https://timlovelee.bandcamp.com/
