Comme des Garçons is a French term meaning “like boys”: a name inspired by Françoise Hardy’s 1962 track “Tous les garçons et les filles” (All the boys and the girls). Rei Kawakubo is the trailblazing founder and designer of Comme des Garçons, and one of the most powerful women in fashion history. Kawakubo started designing clothes under the brand name Comme des Garçons in 1969, before officially establishing the company in 1971. Throughout the years, CDG has collaborated with many brands such as Supreme, Vans, Chrome Hearts, Nike, BAPE, etc. While Play is reportedly Comme des Garçons’s most lucrative label, accounting for 12 percent of the company’s revenue, Dover Street Market is perhaps the most important piece of the Comme portfolio. The multi-brand boutique has five locations, one each in New York, London, Singapore, Tokyo, and Beijing.
