The Comme des Garçons Spring/Summer 2009 collection returns to black, with Rei Kawakubo presenting it as a mathematical concept of geometric volumes, with hexagonal cutting as the central theme, creating puffed-up geometric tops and cocoon-like skirts. The collection features deconstructed mini hoodies shaped like soccer balls, hard plastic shoulder plates, and transparent cellophane underskirts, all while introducing an organic, natural beauty through petaled chiffon tufts and topiary-inspired dresses. The collection challenges conventional design while grounding itself with wide shorts and regular trousers for everyday wear.
