Love At First Sight: Comme De Speedo
January 9, 2009 4:40pm
What: The classic Speedo racing suit, boldly reimagined by the genius minds at Comme des Garçons.
Why: As a former swim team-er, there will always be a place in my heart for the Speedo. But I’d be far more eager to keep my New Year’s resolution—to get my freestyle on three times a week—if I could just get my hands on one of CDG’s versions of the classic tank. The suit comes in five styles, but the one pictured at left is my favorite. For some reason, the suit just seems built for speed. Maybe it’s the word “SPEEDO,” block-printed all over it.
Where: $84, available at Dover Street Market in London or shop.doverstreetmarket.com.

I like them but last time they did this collab and I tried one on they were SO small (and I’m not fat)! Sort it out please peeps…
Totally racey!
