About
Founded in Tokyo in 1969 by visionary designer Rei Kawakubo, Official Comme des Garçons revolutionized global fashion with its radical, avant-garde aesthetic. Meaning “like boys” in French, the luxury house redefined traditional beauty standards through deconstructivism, asymmetrical silhouettes, distressed fabrics, and conceptual design. Debuting in Paris in 1981, the brand challenged conventional high fashion and established an influential global empire spanning main collections, diffusion lines like CDG Play, and innovative retail concepts such as Dover Street Market. Today, Comme des Garçons remains an iconic symbol of uncompromising artistic independence, gender-fluid tailoring, and creative innovation across the luxury apparel and fragrance industry.
