"Comme des Garçons" is French for "like boys." The name was chosen by Rei Kawakubo for its neutral, understated quality — a deliberate detachment from femininity conventions in fashion at the time of the brand's founding. The phrase captures the spirit of gender-free, conceptual dressing that defines the house.
Comme des Garçons encompasses several distinct lines: the main Comme des Garçons line (the runway collection), Comme des Garçons HOMME and HOMME PLUS (menswear), Comme des Garçons PLAY (the accessible, heart-logo range), Comme des Garçons SHIRT (tailoring-focused), BLACK (monochromatic), and NOIR Kei Ninomiya (architectural womenswear), among others. Each line has its own distinct identity and price positioning.
Our garments are available at Dover Street Market locations globally (London, Tokyo, New York, Beijing, Singapore, Los Angeles, and Paris), as well as select authorised department stores and independent boutiques. A full stockist list is available on our website.
All products sold through our official channels are authentic. We are committed to responsible sourcing and work with suppliers who meet our standards for quality and fair labour practices. We do not condone counterfeit goods; please purchase only from authorised retailers.
Comme des Garçons garments follow Japanese sizing conventions, which typically run smaller than European and US standards. A detailed size guide is available on each product page. We recommend consulting measurements rather than relying on labelled sizes alone.
Rei Kawakubo is the founder and creative director of Comme des Garçons, established in Tokyo in 1969. Widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in fashion history, she has consistently challenged conventional notions of beauty, form, and dress. She is one of very few living designers to have received a solo exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute.
