Comme Des Garçons Collaborates On Gay, Lesbian, Leather Pride Holiday Sweaters

Trés chic.
From: NewNowNext

 Christmas has come and gone, but it’s not too late to make your Yuletide gay: Comme Des Garçons has teamed up with Vetements on a capsule collection of LGBT-themed holiday sweaters.

 Rei Kawakubo’s CDG SHIRT line partnered with Demna Gvasalia’s Paris-based collective for a limited edition series of “gay, lesbian and fetish” knits.

 The CDG X Vetements line includes a classic rainbow-striped sweater and a purple jumper with a labrys, a double-sided axe that’s long been associated with lesbians.

 Another sweater is emblazoned with the colors and “heart” of the Leather flag. (We love the design but we’d still hate to have to explain leather symbolism to Aunt Ida.)

The knits are available exclusively at Dover Street Market in New York and London, and retail for about $625 each.
