We’d totally admit to copping looks from the people we follow on Instagram — it’s part of the cycle of what makes trends, well, trendy after all — but how about we start stealing from the chief thief himself? We’re talking about the mean-spirited and almost despicable Grinch, who’s now the (probably reluctant) star of COMME des GARÇONS’ holiday t-shirts.
You see, he can actually be pretty fashion-forward if he wants to, now decked in the brand’s signature tartan plaid and with that ever-cheeky grin smeared across his face! The t-shirts are in line with the brand’s Christmas installation at the Tokyo-based Trading Museum, hence the text, and come in women’s, men’s and kid’s sizes — they’re available here at Dover Street Market, of course.
The question is, why focus on the bad guy of holiday classics? Well here’s our theory anyway: we think the poor old Grinch just had a bad rep from the whole debacle of, uh, shutting down Christmas for the entirety of Whoville. And yet, as a society, we’re somehow able to forgive the grouchy Dr. Seuss character because of our infinite hope that beneath all his warped actions, he’s actually a better, kinder person. There’s hope for us, you see.
Elsewhere, you’ll see that they’re just one part of the brand’s “Re/Tartan Re/Energy” holiday collection. They’ve also partnered with Novesta for a capsule wardrobe that sees some checkered STAR MASTER sneakers complete with black leather caps, for that cosy festive party look you know. Then, there are bags and wanderlust-worthy trunks that come all wrapped in the red-and-green tartan print too. Impeccably stylish.
If you can’t get enough of CDG’s weird vibes, you’ll also want to look out for the Teeth and Tongue wallets that we know would stand out against a sea of utilitarian black. It helps that they’re mighty fun, and involve visual trickery. You see, they look pretty simple on the outside, in the zippered cult designs that the brand’s known for, but pry them open and you’ll find a set of jaws waiting to devour your cash. Oh, we’d gladly let that happen then — and you would too.
