Comme des Garçons Homme Plus

The Hope of Light gives Spring/Summer 2025 an unusually direct emotional centre for Comme des Garçons Homme Plus. The title turns light into an active proposition rather than a decorative mood, placing optimism under Kawakubo’s habit of pressure and contradiction. Shown in Paris, the season sits near a run of Homme Plus collections concerned with darkness, war, abstraction and ritual. Its force comes from that contrast: not cheerful menswear, but a disciplined attempt to imagine brightness without making it easy.
