Here are two of my new CdG treasures. They are different in color than I expected; but in a GOOD way. The electric blue I thought would be on the Coaching is really more of a softer blue/purple and the bright red I thought on the Circut is more orangy. LOVE THESE. I keep hearing that they are almost sold out. Not sure, but happy to have gotten a few!! Highly recommended.

Wooo hoooo! Love your picks!! Now, for some modeling shots, dear TankerToad!!!
 
Ok scarfies!! For those of you undecided on this and think you want, don't delay. These are terrific and love the way the bigger size ties. It is extremely wearable and several looks can be achieved with this. It can be tied to cover the gingham or extended to make it appear longer, or draped in many ways. Forgive these photos. Not polished, but in a sweatsuit on a Sunday. I took these to show another tPFer how this might look ~ RUN don't WALK. This is an AMAZING scarf and a collector peice as well.

Beautiful TankerToad! Love this pattern and the many ways to wear it!

Thank you!! It also looks good with the ends knotted and hanging down, saw a man in NYC wearing this very scarf that way (with several knots) , but I am just not ready to put a knot in the silk ends quite yet. Can not believe how many looks I can get out of this scarf. The size is a happy surprise.
 
TT- Do you have a flat picture of that scarf? It looks like one could build a whole wardrobe around it. Love all your pictures!!
HI JAHNA!!! I know right? So full of possiblities. Here is a picture, not my own but you get the idea....highly recommended!

CDG Coaching
The borders are periwinkle blue and the fact that it has black and brown together makes this very wearable.

So get your scarf or be left out of history, people.

”I don’t really wear scarves, but if I don’t buy this now I will regret it,” famous words spoken by Vogue Girl’s Gunji-san at the preview for the hotly anticipated Hermes x Comme des Garcons collaboration, tagged “Comme des Carre” (how clever) in Tokyo on Friday. That sentiment is basically what makes this industry tick, and why our thirst for collaborations probably can never be satiated. Who woulda thunk Hermes and CdG putting out scarves together?? It’s just. So. Cool. Amirite?

“わたし普段スカーフなんてしないんだけど、これは今買わなきゃ絶対後悔すると思う…”これは、先週金曜日東京で発表されたHermesとComme des Garconsのコラボスカーフ“Comme des Carre”のパーティーにて、Vogue Girlクリエイティブディレクターの軍地さんによって発せられた言葉。この台詞には、この業界が常にフレッシュなものを求めるという性質をうまく表しており、このことから今や定番化したブランドコラボの重要性を強く感じられた。特に今回の場合、両者ともファッションピープルのフェイバリットブランドで、誰もが心待ちにしている様子がそこかしこから見て取れた。

The collection is split into two sections: monotone black and white patterns, and colorful patterns. Thus, CdG held two reception parties in tandem, one at their Aoyama flagship store for the monotone pieces, and then at Dover Street Market in Ginza for the colorful pieces. I received two invites from Comme in the mail and assumed they had accidentally sent two so incidentally almost threw one away. Whoops. And yes, they had us fashion people running all around town to get to both. The staff at Comme were in the most panic: 6-7:30 in Aoyama then 7:30 to 9pm in Ginza..We have to GO!!!

ブラック&ホワイトのモノトーンベースと、カラフルなパターンとの二つのシリーズに分けられた今回のコレクション。ということでこの日はComme des Garcons青山店と銀座のDover Street Marketと二つの店でパーティーが行われた。そんなことつゆ知らず、私のポストに投函された2通のインビテーションを手にこれは何の間違いやら、と思考を巡らせたのがその前日のこと。うっかり片方を捨ててしまわなくて良かった!というわけで、一晩で青山~銀座をクルージングし、存分にこのコレクションに浸ることができました。

he scarf with polkadots (Garcon’s signature) splayed over the traditional Hermes print scarf has sold out by midday I am told. Prices range from about 50,000yen to 250,000 for a large one, so there’s something for everybody.

ちなちにこちらのポルカドットのスカーフは、パーティー当日の昼間には既に完売していたとの声も。価格はエルメスのスカーフにしてはグッとお求めやすくなっており¥50,000から一番大きなもので250,000。

The mannequins were my favorite part… covered in the fabric from the collaboration, they were squishy and pliable and everyone kept bumping into them and knocking them off the rails they were hanging off of. They were pulling off some amazing acrobatic poses….

この展示では、新作スカーフに包まれたマネキンがショップの中で縦横無尽にぶら下がっていました。中にはチャリエンばりのアクロバティックなポーズをとる子も。

So get your scarf or be left out of history, people.
