Comme des Garçons has returned to its long-running partnership with Alpha Industries, revisiting the MA-1 flight jacket in a new navy bias-cut iteration.
Comme des Garçons has riffed on the MA-1 for years, treating the flight jacket as a canvas for its deconstructionist vocabulary.
The bias cut is the story: panels angled across the body give the utilitarian bomber a sculptural tension that the original military pattern never possessed.
For Alpha Industries, the partnership continues to lend its heritage silhouette an art-world legitimacy that a standalone military-brand relaunch could not command.
The capsule extends beyond the jacket, applying the house’s reconstruction language to a docking-built tee and a pair of unisex acrylic vests.
