Santastic! is the apparel spin-off of popular Japanese cartoonist Santa Inoue who’s works span the well-known Japanese comic series Tokyo Tribes.

London native, David Saunders, presents the autumn/winter 2008 collection from his label, David David. Fusing together so many different textiles, David David is a perfect example of controlled chaos. Between his womens and mens line, the sportswear inspiration is completely present yet there seems to be a chunk of inspiration coming from elsewhere making the garments rather unique, even when a complete outfit is comprised of the same pattern. The collection is available at select retailers world wide including the famous Dover Street Market.

With the upcoming H&M store opening up in Tokyo, Comme des Garcons designer Rei Kawakubo has been chosen to do a line consisting of women, mens and even kids clothing.

The collaboration sounds like a pleasant way to open up shop in Japan, yet somehow we still wish they could offer these designers for the US market, as it would be the closet we can come to affording Comme des Garcons. Be sure to check out the pictures from the collection after the jump.
