Comme des Garçons
Japanese avant-garde and a radical way of questioning fashion.
Discover the story
Rei Kawakubo founded Comme des Garçons in Tokyo in the late 1960s and established the company in 1973. Her arrival in Paris in 1981 profoundly altered Western perceptions of silhouette, color, and beauty.
The brand has explored asymmetries, volumes, black, deliberately unfinished garments, and constructions that challenge the traditional shape of the body.
More than a single aesthetic, Comme des Garçons operates as a creative laboratory from which multiple lines, collaborators, and designers have emerged, maintaining an extraordinary influence on contemporary fashion.
