Dinosaurs walked the runway at Comme des Garçons Homme Plus Autumn Winter 2018, immediately disrupting expectations of Paris menswear. The collection leaned heavily into childhood imagery, using play and nostalgia to challenge ideas of masculinity and coming of age. Rei Kawakubo turned innocence into disruption, suggesting that rebellion does not always appear aggressive.

Titled “White Shock,” the show allowed grown adults to wear their superman pajamas in public. Models moved with hesitation and unpredictability, breaking the polished rhythm typically associated with menswear presentations. Oversized dinosaur headpieces were paired with deconstructed garments printed with comic strips, asphalt textures, and car playmat motifs. These references to childhood spaces and games questioned why seriousness is so often imposed on adulthood.

Then, white slowly dominated the entire collection. Tailoring adopted the same asymmetry, padded volumes, and irregular construction. Jackets appeared architectural, almost brick-like in texture, while shirts and trousers twisted away from conventional silhouettes. Variations of white created tension, proving that restraint can be just as confrontational when executed with intent.

Seen in look 1, this radical balloon pants features an all over comic strip print.
