Conceptual legend Comme des Garçons brought the Japanese avant-garde to the West in 1981, with a groundbreaking collection that introduced deconstruction, asymmetry and a monochromatic color scheme as the new paradigm of conceptual fashion. Known for their radical "anti-fashion" aesthetic, head designer Rei Kawakubo's creations remain a challenging, intellectual force that has never left the cutting edge. The brand's Wallets line matches basic shapes with pop colors, graphic embossing, and a perennial sense of surprise and refreshing simplicity.
