# Rebellious Plaid Menswear This Comme des Garcons x Supreme Collection Draws on UK Punk Subculture By Charlotte Joyce Kidd | Published 2015-09-21 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/uk-punk References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2015/9/comme-des-garcons-x-supreme-2015-fall-winter-collection) & [supremenewyork](http://www.supremenewyork.com/previews/fallwinter2015) In the wake of their successful Spring/Summer 2014 capsule collection, [Comme des Garcons Shirt](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-3) and [Supreme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/supreme-and-dickies-1) are once again collaborating, this time creating a Fall/Winter collection inspired by UK punk culture. The illustrious collaborators use classic military silhouettes and patterns to create thick, comfortable streetwear for the Fall/Winter 2015 collection. The UK punk influence shows itself in the line's heavy use of plaid -- including all-plaid pants in a range of colors -- looser fits and laid-back, working class style. The capsule collection is given a boost by [Timberland](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/timberland-3), with the inclusion of a special three-way collaboration boot, available in both black and wheat colorways. Streetwear labels are co-opting even the most niche of styles to create unique, authentic looks with a fashionable edge -- as evidenced by Comme des Garcons and Supreme using UK punk subculture to create this line of Fall/Winter clothing. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.5/10 - Popularity: 85% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Authentic Streetwear:** Co-opting niche subcultures like UK punk, streetwear labels are creating unique and fashionable clothing lines. - **Plaid Fashion:** The use of plaid, including all-plaid pants, is on the rise in the streetwear industry. - **Collaboration Culture:** Fashion brands are embracing collaboration opportunities to create innovative and sought-after collections. ### Where This Applies - **Streetwear:** The streetwear industry has the potential to incorporate niche subcultures and create bold fashion statements. - **Fashion:** The mainstream fashion industry can learn from streetwear labels and explore the use of plaid and collaboration for disruptive designs. - **Footwear:** Collaboration opportunities like the Comme des Garcons x Supreme x Timberland boot highlight the potential for innovation in the footwear industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Punk History Apparel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-war-of-the-three-kingdoms.md) - [Reimagined Studded Trench Coats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-3.md) - [Utility Streetwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dickies-and-mastermind-japan.md) - [Streetwear Oxford Footwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/1461-3eye-shoe.md) - [Fall-Centric Dynamic Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/undercover-5.md) - [Collaborative Monochrome Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/comme-des-garons-and-the-north-face.md) - [Collab Rebellious Streetwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gdc-x-hysteric-glamour.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Exclusive Streetwear Collaborations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corteiz-and-supreme.md)
