Black Comme des Garçons

Black Comme des Garçons was envisioned by creative director Rei Kawakubo as a means of offering a more approachable version of its parent label’s avant-garde designs. Fusing brand signatures like unconventional silhouettes and asymmetric details with more playful elements like bold graphics and all-over prints, the diffusion line explores a different side of the label’s aesthetic. The brand’s commitment to quality construction is embodied in pristine wool and cotton pieces, while its aim for effortless wearability is found in its straightforward black-and-white colorway. Introducing new ideas to CDG’s enduring design principles, Black Comme Des Garçons is a welcome addition to the brand’s assemblage of auxiliary lines.
