Comme des Garçons designer Kawakubo’s creations are challenging – both to the eye and the traditional notion of fashion.  Beloved by the avant garde, she morphs deconstructed garments with dark hues and modernistic fabrics to provocate and mystify.  Of course, as CdG went global the designs have become more mainstream.  The selling concept has been turned on its head too: while others spent millions of dollars on palaces to display their wares, CdG went to the other extreme opening hundreds of stores often only for a few months in a location. The entrance to this shop (if its still there by the time you get there) is a tunnel ending in a space full of curves echoing the lines of Kawakubo’s designs.
