*Insert Red Heart Eye Emoji Here*

Recently, I've been fascinated with the combination of classic concepts with modern looks. Comme des Garçons- a revolutionary brand known for its signature logo (a red heart with eyes)- epitomizes the idea of mixing timeless structures with current patterns and prints.


Meaning "Like Boys" in French, Comme des Garçons was founded by Rei Kawakubo in 1969. According to Wikipedia, this Japanese-based clothing line grosses approximately $180 million/year and has expanded worldwide in recent years. It's out-of-the-ordinary artistic concepts crossed with monochromatic pairings have created a distinct look for the brand, a look that is exceptionally unique in our time. Below are two of my favorite runway concepts from Kawakubo's brand.
