Initiated in 2009, The Beatles x Comme des Garçons is a long-term collaborative capsule collection between Rei Kawakubo’s pioneering Japanese fashion label and Apple Corps Ltd., the entity overseeing the legacy of the legendary British band. The partnership was born when Apple Corps approached the avant-garde house, resulting in a diffusion line that fuses two distinct cultural worlds. The collection reinterprets The Beatles’ famous “Drop-T” and apple logos through Kawakubo’s unconventional design lens, often blending them with Comme des Garçons’ signature polka dots and graphic-heavy streetwear sensibilities.
