About COMME des GARÇONS
Founded in Tokyo in 1969 and introduced to Paris in 1981, COMME des GARÇONS brought Japanese avant-garde to the Western fashion establishment with a groundbreaking debut that disrupted the industry. The collection’s deconstruction, asymmetry, and monochromatic palette established a new paradigm for conceptual fashion.
Under Rei Kawakubo’s direction, the house became synonymous with:
- Deconstructed tailoring
- Architectural silhouettes
- Radical proportion play
- Monochrome and textural experimentation
- Gender-fluid aesthetics
Rather than following trends, COMME des GARÇONS questions the very structure of clothing and beauty. Its approach has often been described as “anti-fashion” — not in opposition to fashion, but in pursuit of something intellectually deeper.
The brand explores dualities such as:
- High and low
- Presence and absence
- Masculine and feminine
- Structure and collapse
Today, COMME des GARÇONS remains one of the most influential and intellectually potent forces in global fashion.
Brand Philosophy
- Creativity beyond convention

- Concept over commercialism
