[Limited Edition] SWITCH special edition COMME des GARÇONS 50th Anniversary Issue

About the productJapanese

The magazine "SWITCH" followed me.
This book contains the complete history of Comme des Garcons.
A special edition of the complete collection

●Includes "Comme des Garcons full cover feature"
The book includes the first Comme des Garcons cover and feature story from the 2015 issue of "SWITCH," which featured a 15,000-word exclusive long interview with designer Rei Kawakubo, who had never been interviewed by domestic media, as well as features covering the DOVER STREET MARKET in London, Ginza, and New York, as well as an exclusive interview with Bjork, who visited the exhibition and covered the special exhibition held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art by Rei Kawakubo, the first living designer since Yves Saint Laurent. In addition, the book includes full-page coverage of eight issues of the visual magazine "Six" published between 1988 and 1991, a magazine reprint of the "Comme des Garcons Furniture" catalog produced in 1990, and newly shot Comme des Garcons "DM" issues produced between 2008 and 2023.

●Rei Kawakubo's latest documentary and Comme des Garcons 2023-2024 AW collection
In addition to the latest documentary following Rei Kawakubo at Paris Fashion Week in March this year, the issue features the Comme des Garcons 23-24 AW collection, shot by photographer Kazumi Kurigami. In addition to a reprint of the fashion story shot by photographer Yoshiko Seino in 1996, the issue also includes all of the collection and fashion stories of Comme des Garcons that "SWITCH" has recorded to date. Other features include interviews with stylist Michiko Kitamura and Sakanaction's Ichiro Yamaguchi, who talk about the appeal of Comme des Garcons (the interview with Michiko Kitamura is a new interview). The issue also includes portraits of artists who have worn Comme des Garcons in the pages of "SWITCH", such as Rie Miyazawa, Yurina Hirate, and Somegoro Ichikawa.

What is Comme des Garçons? Rather than looking back on the brand's 50 years since its founding, this special edition is a 416-page story that explores the fashion and business of Comme des Garçons, as well as Rei Kawakubo's philosophy and aesthetic sense, for the next 50 years.
