Moving on from last season's dark moody tones, the ss10 CDG Homme+ collection is a sumptuous feast of summery hues and rich textures. Patchwork plaid jackets are matched with loose floral print pants. On some jackets, ties are stitched on as part of the patchwork and looking as though they were casually slung over the shoulders. Pockets are articulated as seperate colour panels or outlined with a contrasting trim. Trompe l'oeil bow ties can be seen on shirts, sometimes humorously juxtaposed with a real bow tie worn with the shirt. There were also some short skirts (or skorts?) layered over pants, which are still a bit of a hard sell, even if this is the fourth season in a row where skirts have appeared for the homme+ collection.
Although lacking in the tricky tailoring we saw in last season and the usage of many recycled classic comme shapes, this is by no means a poor collection. Beneath the cacophony of the layering and styling is a rich picking of great individual pieces that would fit right into any fanboy's wardrobe.
