Cuba Denim

Launched in 1973, CDG initially caught attention for its brash rejections of what women ought to look like. Rei Kawakubo’s work was characterized by drapey black clothing, often harshly distressed. However, like many one-time punks, age has tempered its fury, and CDG has developed into a cultural powerhouse, with tendrils burrowed into every aspect of fashion and design.

These jeans employ a tropical color scheme and vintage comic book-style Cuban iconography to depict various interactions revolving around cigars. These pants were among the heavier pieces produced in a set that included button downs, t-shirt, and a trucker jacket, each of which is cut with a vintage Americana-style fit.
