For all you French speakers out there Reggie has purposely used the Japanese pronunciation for the name of the brand so please forgive if it offends you in anyway. Our intention is never to offend but to educate others on the industry we love: fashion.

The beauty and genius of Comme de Garçons comes from the fact that in spite of its street popularity, the brand remains and retains its “underground” avant-garde origins and persona.

I like to think that 'Comme des garcons' fell off because HypeBeast found out the real translation and thought it was a little creepy.... I mean who would wear a shirt captioned: "Like some boys" or "Like boys" .... It could be misinterpreted. Sub mess. been around for a while...

Im a big fan of CDG, in a way that I feel like it caters very well to people of all shapes and sizes. Interested in the brand but don't want to drop mega bucks? CDG Play. Interested in the brand but want a step up from play? CDG Black Want to experiment with your wardrobe and silhouette? CDG Homme/Homme+/Ganryu/Junya Watanabe And then the brand also invites you in with the Dover Street Market's, which, after seeing the New York location, are highly recommendable because of the almost Art Installation type appeal that the store's design has, plus also being a purveyor of all things off-kilter and interesting within the fashion universe. CDG is admirable, successful, and accessible, and really satisfying at all levels. There really aren't many others like it!

Morty You should be helping me with some of these vids brother! Lol. In any case you are right on the head with your assessment. Comme is probably the second most recognizable Japanese brand international from street fashion enthusiasts. I definitely forgot to add the section where I talk about how you can integrate the brand in your wardrobe. That'll make these better.

@ariesone12
@ariesone12 7 лет назад
Earlier in 2017 I visited the flagship CDG store in Tokyo and the store had a very "industrial-meets-art installation" feel, as the Play line was folded and placed like a normal clothing store, but some of the much more expensive high-end fashion lines were seemingly displayed like works of art. One thing I never hear about CDG is their fragrances, but what I tried in their store smelled wonderful-much of it could be unisex. All in all as a budget-conscious consumer I hope to one day afford Comme des Garçons, but for now I will have to be satisfied with window-shopping.
