Rei Kawakubo, founder and designer of Comme des Garçons, broke the norms of fashion with her radical deigns and excessive use of the color black. While not everyone at the time was ready for Rei Kawakubo’s unprecedented way of approaching fashion, throughout the years she established herself as an irreplaceable figure in the fashion world.

“Collection after collection, for 40 years, all I have been doing is moving, questioning, creating a feeling never felt before” (“Rei Kawakubo, Rei of Light” We Waste Time)
Comme des Garçons × H&M
While a lot of CdG items can be intimidating for many, the Comme des Garçons Play line (with the iconic heart logo) definitely has more approachable items.
Perfume line.
Red Comme des Garçons shorts.
Comme des Garçons has only a limited selection available online, as it is Kawakubo’s belief that an item needs to actually be touched for the customer decide to purchase it. Besides, a CdG store itself is a work of art. Definitely worth a visit!
