Comme des Garçons

  • Comme des Garçons was founded by Rei Kawakubo in 1969; the Japanese house is one of the originators of avant-garde fashion.
  • Known for its challenging, intellectual take on fashion, the label explores themes like androgyny, deconstructionism and youth culture.
  • The house includes over a dozen sub-labels, creating multiple lines of men's and women's fashion, accessories, jewelry and a highly-regarded fragrance program.
  • In 2004 Comme des Garçons ventured into retail, opening a series of "guerilla" stores, typically only open for a year, in cities around the world.
  • Comme des Garçons also operates Dover Street Market, a multi-brand concept store stocking the most progressive labels from around the world.
