If you want to make an extravagant statement, you need not look any further than COMME des GARÇONS HOMME Plus' latest drop. The contemporary label builds on its "anti-fashion" ethos with a selection of eerie and otherworldly necklace silhouettes.
Coming in three varieties, the bold and loud offerings range in retail pricing between $1435 USD and $3160 USD. All of them feature a layered chunky chain in gold-toned metal. Although this is surely attention-captivating, the main extravagant statement is communicated through the add-ons. COMME des GARÇONS HOMME Plus' necklaces feature an open mouth that belongs to a wild animal, eyeballs, and whales. One can speculate on the symbology of this, however, the point is that the brand is definitely reaching out to the glamorous avant-garde movement.
