About The Brand

The label was started in Tokyo by Rei Kawakubo in 1969 and established as a company in 1973.

The name translates into translates as "like boys" in French.

The brand became successful in Japan in the 1970s; a menswear line was added in 1978. The year 1981 saw Comme des Garçons's debut show in Paris. Kawakubo's heavy use of black, as well as distressed fabrics and unfinished seams, were viewed negatively by French critics. Throughout the 1980s, Comme des Garçons's clothes often were associated with a 'distressed' and 'punk' oriented style. They continued to produce unusual styles through the 1990s, many of which were disliked by experts.

Homme des Garçons Deux and Comme des Garçons Shirt, are all handmade. This is because they adamantly value the quality of hand-made garments, reflected in the more expensive price and longevity of their products. Play, the company's luxury casual streetwear line, is mainly produced in Japan, Spain, and Turkey, with France's Play factory still utilizing many hand-made procedures.

The 2006 autumn/winter collection dealt with the concept of the "persona", the different ways we present ourselves to the world. Fusing tailored menswear with more feminine elements such as corsets and flower printed dress fabrics, "Persona" was another collection that combined the feminine with the masculine.

Junya Watanabe and, as of recently, Tao Kurihara both Comme des Garçons designers have started their own sub-labels under the Comme des Garçons name to much acclaim. Both also were involved in designing for the casual women's knitwear line "Comme des Garçons Tricot".

Product History

Pre-Owned
C.1994

In 1981 Kawakubo launched one of her first true diffusion lines, Tricot Comme des Garçons. At first exclusively knitwear-focused, Kawakubo wished to explore a single category much more extensively than an ordinary ready-to-wear collection allowed. Like CdG Shirt, Tricot explores one category to its limits but opts for a technique (knitting) over a specific garment.
