Comme des Garcons SHIRT S/S10 with Paper Surgery
Comme des Garcons SHIRT has just introduced their breath-taking new campaign with crushed faces of celebrities. The series of the portraits was originally created by the NY-Moscow-based artist Stephen J. Shanabrook.
As the title of the series Paper Surgery goes, his cynical theme encountered the unique identity of Comme des Garcons SHIRT, which resulted in further stronger chemistry. By not showing any of their shirts at all, the shock of the visual and the name of the brand strike you more strongly. Interestingly, the operated faces would remind you of the CdG’ s iconic clean white shirt and tell you that you can look anything, but you can only BE what you really ARE.
A fake is a fake. The real is the real. Very dark and smart unti-thesis.
