For the ninth installment of an ongoing fruitful collaboration, Japanese fashion label Comme des Garçons SHIRT and ultra-cool The Generic Man have joined together again to unveil a new two-part line of bold sneakers inspired by two different models in the Generic catalogue: the Borstal and Slip On. The first style features swirling paisley pattern-cut suede in bright purple, fuchsia, and sea foam, while the second is made from actual quilted cotton and striped shirt fabrics from Comme des Garçons’ Spring/Summer 2015 collection in sky and navy.

CDG’s SHIRT line focuses on the concept of reworking the classic white by adding splashes of color, pattern, and unconventional fabrications. Its continued partnership with The Generic Man is a force to reckoned with as the two labels continue to surprise and excite us with their innovative shapes and contemporary designs.

Public School Fall 2013: Polished Deconstruction

Public School Fall 2013 Menswear Fashion Week Presentation

“We really wanted to explore technique with this collection,” says Public School co-founder Dao-Yi Chow. “The past two seasons set the tone for our silhouette and aesthetic, so we wanted to focus on developing new washes, embellishments and details that would help to define the Public School look. We looked at how the little traits of someone’s personality helped to define who they are and similarly tried to capture that with our garments.” So to add to their structured, downtown street edge, they worked new fabrics like wool blended knits and stretch skins into deconstructed yet polished pieces.
