My eyes got so big with excitement when I came across this Comme des Garcons jacket. I first saw the unzipped photo and then came the zipped-up photo. Then head tilt to the side and uttered 'WTF' (what the fashion)! I'm a fan of Comme des Garcon don't get me wrong but why ruin a good thing? I love the structure of the garment, the color and fit but those damn slits just ruined it for me.

I've been a fan of Comme Des Garcons since I high school. The fashion-forward, edgy and unique designs gravitated me to the iconic Japanese fashion label. But sometimes their pieces can be to 'out-there'. Take for example this Half Jacket. This deconstructed jacket with a cropped sleeveless tank is undeniably a piece of wearable art. Unfortunately, when it comes to functionality and practicality it doesn't score well. Specially when you take into consideration the hefty price tag.

I've always been a fan of Comme des Garcons. They've created innovative and fashion forward garments through the years. But sometimes harnessing all that creative juices can be a good thing or else... disaster! And that is just what this men's jacket with applique is. The design is so wrong it's criminal. It looks like a home economics project. And the price??? absolutely ridiculous. I rest my case.

Spring 2009 Ready To Wear Collections have been parading the runways of Paris and London for a couple of weeks now. Judging by Style.com's extensive coverage, there were a few designers that showed better collections from previous seasons. And of course, there are the seasonal fashion criminals and offenders. It's ironic how runway shows, which are supposed to be a showcase of chic, trendy and innovative fashion; the worst are also expected to be ever present. Personally, I like that. Giving collections season after season entertainment value. I said that not undermining and disrespecting the hard work and creative talents of fashion designers.
