COMME DES GARÇONS is a Japanese clothing brand founded in 1969 by Rei Kawakubo. Initially, Kawakubo worked as a freelance stylist before launching her own company. The brand gained prominence in the 1980s, especially after its first presentation in Paris in 1981. Known for its avant-garde, deconstructed, and often monochromatic designs, COMME DES GARÇONS has challenged traditional fashion notions. Kawakubo also launched several secondary lines like PLAY and Homme Plus. COMME DES GARÇONS revolutionized the fashion industry by boldly and innovatively marrying art and clothing.
