Following Comme des Garçons’ Autumn/Winter 2023 show, five longtime wearers of the brand talk about being part of Rei Kawakubo’s “unspoken cult”
“My first introduction to Comme des Garçons was through a Japanese magazine namedin the early 1980s. As I was born in Japan, I vaguely remember that I found Comme de Garçons very early on as a teenager. I recall interviews with Ms Kawakubo’s photo in a lot of magazines at the time. Nowadays, it’s rare for her to appear in an interview article with photos of herself.
“My first piece from Comme is a purple polyester chiffon dress from Tricot Comme des Garçons c.1995. The dress is made with only one pattern – I thought it was a very interesting shape. I still have the dress in my closet. My favourite piece from my wardrobe is the 2D structured kimono coat – in a shocking pink flower print on black base nylon Oxford fabric – from the Spring/Summer 2022collection.
collection. It is the most avant-garde and innovative collection in fashion history. To see those dresses dancing – I went to see the ballettwice in November 2019 at the Théâtre du Châtelet in Paris – it was amazing! “I admire Rei Kawakubo and her philosophy. I believe fashion is one of the ways to express one’s personality, own life, and oneself. I respect Ms Kawakubo’s sensibility and determination as a designer because she never stops creative exploration. Her artistic clothes are not only art objects but also wearable. She is my idol and the role model of my life. I feel confident and happy wearing Comme. The clothes fit naturally into my life – I wear them every day.
