Comme des Garçons, or ‘like the boys’, disrupted the Paris fashion scene in the early ‘80s with distorted silhouettes, deconstructed garments and monochromatic collections – a stark rebellion against the era’s maximalism and glamour. Founded in 1969 by Rei Kawakubo and titled after the lyrics of Françoise Hardy’s ’62 pop hit Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles, the Japanese brand’s avant-garde universe now spans a constellation of sub-labels, including Comme des Garçons Play, Comme des Garçons Homme Plus /designers/comme-des-garcon/comme-des-garcon-homme-plus and Comme des Garçons Wallet. True to CDG’s enigmatic allure, Play’s iconic heart is described as “a sign, a symbol, a feeling”, and graces streetwear staples like Comme des Garçons men’s T-shirts and Comme des Garçons hoodies. Homme Plus, meanwhile, exhibits its radical philosophy in the abstract prints of Comme des Garçons shirts and the sculptural profile of Comme des Garçons trousers and skirts.
