The iconic AW2008 reconstructed patchwork blazer from Comme des Garcons Homme Plus, brand new with the tags still attached. The piece retailed for ¥103,215 (~$1,000 USD), as depicted on tags.
This collection was in collaboration with artist Jamie Reid, whose best known work includes Sex Pistol’s album covers: “Never Mind the Bollocks” and “Here’s the Sex Pistols.” His "Lies Lies Lies" artwork (pictured) is reinterpreted with CDG branding, then affixed to the back of the blazer on a patch.
The blazer is clearly punk inspired, featuring raw hems, tartan cloth with fraying edges, and patch details. The (re)construction of the blazer is almost a cruel joke, as if the blazer has been hacked apart then repaired with tartan which runs completely through the patch and chest pockets and renders them almost useless. Up close, however, the blazer appears as if the outer skin of a normal blazer has been peeled back, revealing its inner tartan layer.
Otherwise, the garment features two inner pockets, silver lining, a concealed button on the lapel, and three buttons on each sleeve. The wool outer is a deep, glossy black.
