Little Book of Comme des Garçons

Irreverent, radical, abstract and never boring, Comme des Garçons is the anti-fashion fashion house. Since the House's Paris debut in 1981, which shocked the fashion world and made an instant impact on the course of the evolution of style (namely: black), Rei Kawakubo' has forged her own path with her brand. Little Book of Comme des Garçons explores the DNA of the House, from its origins and early collections to present-day innovation - from black-drenched and apocalyptic tailoring to the padded and bulging gingham of the infamous Lumps and Bumps collection, and from daring couture to playful diffusion lines, 100 images showcase every iconic design. Expert text from fashion writer Kati Chitrakorn examines every look, and explores the design concepts, subversive stores, seminal moments and holy grail pieces that define the brand.
