Apartment 48

Imagine going into your friend's cozy apartment and him saying to you, "See anything you like? It's yours". Other than the formality of monetary exchange, this is essentially...

Comme des Garçons

Frankly, we'd be disappointed if the New York Comme des Garcons shop wasn't tucked into a nondescript building, with a futuristic cave for an entryway. All of the requisite pieces of the...

Imagine going into your friend's cozy apartment and him saying to you, "See anything you like? It's yours". Other than the formality of monetary exchange, this is essentially what a visit to Apartment 48 is like. The space is separated into several small rooms each decorated as a room inside an apartment.

Comme des Garçons

Frankly, we'd be disappointed if the New York Comme des Garcons shop wasn't tucked into a nondescript building, with a futuristic cave for an entryway.
