Comme Des Garçons
Founded by Rei Kawakubo in Tokyo in 1969, Comme des Garçons (CDG) is a groundbreaking avant-garde fashion house known for challenging conventional ideas of beauty, form, and the meaning of clothing. Kawakubo’s approach embraces asymmetry, deconstruction, abstraction, and an intellectual, often conceptual philosophy that has deeply influenced modern fashion. Together, Comme des Garçons and Dover Street Market operate like a creative micro-universe Rei Kawakubo’s philosophy—“creation, not fashion”—runs through all these connected labels and spaces.
