This page is for shoppers who want Craig Green's sculptural, strapped-and-quilted workwear from other labels. The closest matches are Japanese deconstructionists — Junya Watanabe, sacai, UNDERCOVER, Issey Miyake — plus technical outsiders like Hamcus and A-COLD-WALL*; most sit in the same very-high price tier, so expect to pay comparable money. A few names here (Raf Simons, 11 BY BORIS BIDJAN SABERI) have closed and are now resale-only propositions.
Tokyo label under the Comme des Garcons umbrella, known for technical fabrics, patchwork, deconstructed tailoring and heavy workwear collaborations.
Why it's similar. Both brands share an avant-garde ethos and a focus on innovative designs with unique silhouettes.
Closed Belgian label (1995–2022) from designer Raf Simons, known for slim tailoring, oversized outerwear and youth-subculture graphics.
Why it's similar. Both brands excel in avant-garde aesthetics and tailored fits, showcasing a modern approach to luxury menswear.
Independent avant-garde label founded in Los Angeles in 1994 and now based in Paris, known for draped monochrome tailoring and chunky sneakers.
Why it's similar. Both brands embrace avant-garde design, characterized by unconventional cuts and a strong architectural influence.
London label by Natalia Alaverdian making sculptural, deconstructed womenswear, shown on the Paris Fashion Week calendar.
Why it's similar. Shares avant-garde style and deconstructed, structured silhouettes. Tailored fit and bold palette align closely.
Kering-owned London luxury house, now branded McQueen, pairing dark-romantic tailoring and skull motifs under creative director Seán McGirr.
Why it's similar. Both brands feature avant-garde designs with a focus on sculptural and deconstructed silhouettes.
Founder-led Paris label mixing Provençal-inflected minimalism, cropped tailoring and miniature Le Chiquito bags with theatrical outdoor runway shows.
Why it's similar. Avant-garde style with tailored fit and bold colors. Architectural silhouettes maintain some resemblance.
New York luxury house known for sharp tailoring, leather and the PS1 bag, now creatively led by Diotima founder Rachel Scott.
Why it's similar. High-end craftsmanship and avant-garde designs with structured silhouettes. Bold palette matches well.
Japanese house founded in 1970, known for engineered pleating, A-POC construction and Bao Bao bags across its Pleats Please and Homme Plissé lines.
Why it's similar. Both brands employ innovative materials and have a creative approach towards silhouette and fit.
Hong Kong label by Tuff Leung producing dystopian sci-fi techwear: panelled, multi-pocket military garments across its PRMTVSM and PMU lines.
Why it's similar. Avant-garde style with architectural and deconstructed silhouettes. Technical materials are a strong overlap.
Paris luxury house founded in 1988, known for deconstruction, blank numeric labels and Tabi split-toe boots; now led by Glenn Martens.
Why it's similar. Both brands are recognized for their avant-garde style and experimental designs pushing fashion boundaries.
London brand founded in 2015 by Samuel Ross, pairing brutalist industrial design with technical outerwear; owned by Frasers-backed Four Marketing since late 2024.
Why it's similar. Samuel Ross's London label works the same industrial-workwear vocabulary as Green — harness-strapped technical outerwear, cotton drill and parkas — at a slightly lower price tier, and is now owned by Frasers-backed Four Marketing.
New York studio founded in 2014, known for crystal-embellished evening and denim pieces built on experimental textile and hardware techniques.
Why it's similar. AREA shares Green's experimental approach to textiles and hardware, but applies it to crystal-embellished evening and denim pieces rather than utilitarian menswear.
Antwerp-founded avant-garde house, owned by Claudio Antonioli and designed by Stefano Gallici, known for black romantic-gothic tailoring and drape.
Why it's similar. Antwerp avant-garde house with the same appetite for asymmetric drape, layering and buckled hardware, in an all-black romantic register; now owned by Claudio Antonioli with Stefano Gallici designing.
Barcelona diffusion line of Boris Bidjan Saberi, blending avant-garde tailoring with skate and technical sportswear; ceased operations with the main label in July 2025.
Why it's similar. Saberi's diffusion line matched Green's hand-treated fabrics, hooded layering and cargo silhouettes in near-monochrome; it ceased operations in July 2025, so pieces now circulate on resale.
Jun Takahashi's Tokyo label, founded 1993, mixing punk, horror and art references with deconstructed tailoring in Paris-shown menswear and womenswear.
Why it's similar. Jun Takahashi's Tokyo label builds deconstructed tailoring, patchwork knitwear and padded appliqué pieces with the same craft obsession, filtered through punk and horror references.
Tokyo label by Chitose Abe that hybridizes contrasting fabrics and garment archetypes into spliced tailoring, knitwear and outerwear.
Why it's similar. Chitose Abe splices garment archetypes into single hybrid pieces — bombers grafted onto tailoring, cargo pants that fold into skirts — the closest thing to Green's constructed layering, priced a tier lower.
Sydney avant-garde label by Lyna Ty and Melvin Tanaya, known for fabric-led oversized tailoring and its ongoing adidas Originals collaboration.
Italian avant-garde label by Maurizio Amadei, based near Rome, known for minimally seamed garments, one-piece leather bags and hand-finished footwear.

Junya Watanabe. Both work from workwear and military source material, both use technical fabric and deconstructed pattern-cutting, and both sit in the same very-high price tier. Watanabe leans on patchwork and engineered pleating where Green leans on straps, padding and quilting.
Yes. A-COLD-WALL*, sacai, UNDERCOVER, Issey Miyake and Ann Demeulemeester all sit one tier below Craig Green's very-high pricing. A-COLD-WALL* is the closest cheaper match on utility outerwear; Maison Margiela's MM6 diffusion line is another lower-priced route into deconstruction.
Two. Raf Simons ended with its Spring/Summer 2023 collection after the designer announced the label's wind-down in late 2022, and 11 BY BORIS BIDJAN SABERI ceased operations by the end of July 2025 along with the Boris Bidjan Saberi mainline. Both circulate on resale.
Sculptural, deconstructed workwear: the boxy workman jacket, tie-and-strap tunics, quilted shirts, padded vests, wide-leg trousers and oversized ponchos. Also collaborations with Moncler, Valentino, adidas Originals, Eastpak and Fred Perry, the last carrying his circle motif under the laurel wreath.
The label is a London menswear line. If you want the same structural, deconstructed language in womenswear, look at A.W.A.K.E. Mode, Ann Demeulemeester or Maison Margiela; sacai and Junya Watanabe show co-ed or separate women's collections.
