Comme Des Garçons
Comme des Garçons Play is a sub-brand of the iconic Japanese fashion house Comme des Garçons, founded by designer Rei Kawakubo in 1969. The main line is known for its avant-garde and conceptual designs that challenge conventional ideas of fashion. Comme des Garçons Play was launched in 2002 and has since become one of the most recognizable and popular sub-labels under the Comme des Garçons umbrella.
The Comme des Garçons Play logo—a red heart with eyes—was created by Polish artist Filip Pagowski and has become the brand’s defining symbol. It appears across a wide range of items, from T-shirts and knitwear to sneakers.
One of the key reasons behind the success of Comme des Garçons Play is its accessibility. While Comme des Garçons is often associated with high-end avant-garde fashion, the Play line offers more wearable, everyday pieces at a more approachable price point. This has helped attract a younger audience and expand the brand’s global following.
Despite its playful and approachable aesthetic, Comme des Garçons Play remains true to the avant-garde spirit and conceptual roots of Comme des Garçons. The brand continues to challenge fashion norms while delivering simple, easy-to-wear designs that appeal to a broader audience.
