Hooked: Adam Kimmel

Not one to resist a little artistic clowning, Adam Kimmel paired up with impish painter George Condo for his fall men's presentation. The collection, Casino, featured a gamble-ready line-up of James Bond staples—smoking jackets, robes, and other Monte Carlo basics—topped with Condo's masks, which resembled a demonic Beaker from the Muppets. Condo also created monogram crests for a few choice pieces that are as charming as they are scary. Now, just announced, come these limited-edition Uncle Harry tees, exclusively for Comme des Garçons. A recurring figure in Condo’s work, Harry is given the dapper makeover with a velvet dinner jacket and bow tie—because even caricatures want to be playboys. At Dover Street Market in London, 10 Corso Como in Milan, and Isetan in Tokyo.
