StyleAvant-gardeMinimalist / ContemporaryStreetwear
Known forFragranceT-shirts & graphic tees
Comme des Garçons is the label Rei Kawakubo founded in Tokyo in 1969 and first showed in Paris in 1981, where its distressed, asymmetric black clothing reframed Japanese design abroad. Kawakubo still designs the mainline, working through unconventional pattern-cutting, padding and volume, while the group houses Homme Plus, Shirt, Noir Kei Ninomiya and Junya Watanabe. The heart-logo Play line, with its Converse and Nike collaborations, underwrites the runway work. Husband Adrian Joffe runs the company and its Dover Street Market stores; both received the 2025 Fashion Awards' Isabella Blow Award.

Does Comme des Garçons run big or small?
Comme des Garçons varies by piece. Check the sub-label first: size up one in Play and Japanese-sized Homme lines, and consider your true size or one down in CDG SHIRT and oversized mainline pieces. Fit is highly line-dependent — the Play and Japanese-sized lines are widely said to run small and slim, while CDG SHIRT and mainline/Homme Plus garments are cut deliberately boxy and oversized, so most shoppers rely on garment measurements rather than the size label.
