Commes Des Garçons was founded by Rei Kawakubo in 1969 and over the last 50 years has been at the vanguard of conceptual fashion. Kawakubo’s pieces sit at the nexus of art and fashion,  with many design signatures, from unfinished fabrics and distressed seams to asymmetry and distorted silhouettes and proportions challenging notions of what is fashionable or indeed acceptable wear. Over the years the brand has garnered a devoted following among lovers of the unconventional and experimental, who wish to be as undefinable as their ensembles.
