Founded by Rei Kawakubo in 1969, Comme des Garçons has always been a force of conceptual design rather than mere fashion. The brand’s name—French for “like boys”—reflects its rebellious foundation, breaking away from traditional notions of femininity and beauty. Kawakubo’s work emphasizes structure, shape, and form, often treating garments as sculptures rather than clothes. https://commedesgarcon.org/
