The French label highlights an asymmetrical design language and retains the enlarged alligator branding emblem on a series of men's shirts. The traditional elements are kept by the Japanese brand, delivering a collection of polo shirts, cardigans, and tees. The collaborative collection is now available to shop online and in-store at Dover Street Market. It is reminiscent of a previous project done by the brand with Junya Watanabe in 2008 when the duo presented a collection of colorful polos that were perfectly symmetrical. This time, the collection has a bold look and captivating asymmetrical cut throughout the silhouettes.
