Spring 11 Menswear: Checks and Plaids

Issey Miyake x 3, Missoni, Comme des Garcons, Walter Van Beirendonck, Comme des Garcons, Issey Miyake

Typical of menswear, tons of plaids and checks re-appear this season but with some interesting twists. Issey Miyake explores the classic plaid with hand painting and transparency, creating a softer look. Comme des Garcons takes a hard edge, framing black and white checkered tees with red striped jackets, and interspersing checks with skulls.
