COMME des GARCONS, the high-end fashion brand that's well-known for its frequent use of a heart logo with eyes, otherwise known as the "Play face," recently expanded its offerings with a selection of art clothing that features collage-like prints.
The resulting pieces are eye-catching in appearance, with each making use of vibrant colors and unique designs that are layered over one another. In some, typefaces are jumbled together, with numbers and letters of different colors making for a whimsical pattern.
Many other pieces from the art clothing collection make use of the Play face as well. In some, the logo is included in full on the sleeves and elsewhere, while others include just the misshapen eyes of the heart, shown usually at the bottom of shirts.
