Founded in 1969, Comme des Garçons is renowned for its avant-garde designs and experimentation with unconventional fabrics, shapes, and textures. Often challenging traditional ideas of gender and incorporating elements of art and architecture, Kawakubo’s thought provoking, all encompassing label continues to thrive as one of her primary muses for self expression. Expanding in years following to create an umbrella of sub-designer labels, managed by the CDG Maison, Rei Kawakubo has been steadily maintaining her position as one of the greatest currently active designers.
