Comme des Garçons Homme Plus 2008 Reissue "Bleached Cloth" Blazer
Product Overview This exceptional blazer is a 2008 archival reissue of one of the most legendary chapters in Comme des Garçons history: the Autumn/Winter 1993 "Bleached Cloth" (脱色期) collection. Designed by Rei Kawakubo, the original collection was a groundbreaking exploration of avant-garde textile distressing, utilizing uneven bleaching techniques to challenge traditional luxury tailoring. This 2008 version reintroduces that iconic artistic fabric treatment but updates the blueprint for a contemporary wardrobe.
Key Design Elements & Silhouette Update
Modernized Silhouette: Unlike the original 1993 release—which featured an intensely boxy, overly square, and wide-shouldered mid-90s cut—this 2008 reissue has been tastefully redesigned. The tailoring is more contoured and streamlined, eliminating the awkward bulkiness of the vintage pattern while maintaining an effortlessly relaxed drape.
Signature Bleached Aesthetic: The fabric undergoes a specialized treatment that creates a beautiful, painterly contrast of deep tones and raw, faded light patches, making every single piece visually unique.
Deconstructed Tailoring: Merges classic blazer elements (structured lapels and clean pocketing) with the house’s signature rebellious, artistic edge.
