First brought into fruition in 1973, the iconic Japanese label Comme des Garçons was founded by fashion designer Rei Kawakubo. The brand arrived intending to question the fashion movement’s traditional offerings.

The label has continued challenging the status quo by making elevated, comfortable, and functional clothing styles. Comme des Garçons has created other lines over the years, such as Comme des Garçons Noir, Comme des Garçons Homme Plus, Comme des Garçons SHIRT, and most notably, Comme des Garçons PLAY. The iconic sub-label Comme des Garçons PLAY debuted in 2002 as a component of the premium luxury label Comme des Garçons. Considered a more functional version of the primary elevated line, the brand takes on an elevated yet casual aeshtetic all while incorporating traditional wardrobe-essentials. It comprises long sleeve tees, crewnecks, hoodies, and more. Comme des Garçons PLAY is best known for its iconic bug-eyed red heart motif, which has become the face of the entire line. Artist Filip Pagwoski designed this motif.

"THE ICONIC RED HEART."
