Workwear cotton jacket, from Comme des Garçons Homme Plus, Spring/Summer 1995. The different shades of green associated with the different types of cotton fabric and with the polyvinyl pockets all fit perfectly together. The jacket has a casual, proper fit, slightly more fitted than the rest of the collection, but still integrating typical elements of it such as the 3D structured sleeves. It is in good condition, with a bit of fading and used spots scattered around.
The Homme Plus line, which had been casting many state-of-the-art artists and musicians throughout the years, completely turned around this season to only have boys aged between 16 and 18 modelling. Under the theme of "WORK", the main colours seen were khaki, gray, and blue, while the main fabric was cotton. Despite following the normal practice of workwear, variations in the details and silhouette contributed to the creation of a new style. There was a charming contrast between the exaggerated "Regent" hairstyle with the work pants and the models leaving their innocence behind. The group of white shirts in the finale evoked the charm and ridiculousness of young male workers doing their best to dress up.
Instead of shrinking her clothes as she did last season, Miss Kawakubo shrank her models, reviving her boxy, oversized shapes by putting them on adolescents with James Dean-styled hair. She showed work wear for blue collar and white: indigo shirts and trousers, khaki jackets with cargo pockets, washed mechanics' overalls -- and pin-striped trousers belted high with white shirts and striped ties and white-shirt jackets with blue trousers and white bucks.
