comme des garçons parfums

Founded in 1969 by self-taught Japanese designer Rei Kawakubo, Comme des Garçons is a Tokyo-based fashion house that fundamentally shifted the landscape of modern dress. With a debut in Paris in 1981 that shocked critics with its predominantly black, distressed, and asymmetrical garments, the brand established an anti-fashion stance rooted in questioning established notions of beauty, proportion, and gender. Kawakubo’s vision manifests in sculptural, often voluminous collections that treat the body as a canvas for abstraction, famously explored in her 1997 “Lumps and Bumps” collection. The brand’s work is characterized by deconstruction, unfinished edges, and an intellectual approach that has influenced generations of designers.
