In 1981, in Paris, fashion critics competed in the venomous reviews of the Japanese designer’s first collection: “Hiroshima chic!”, “post-nuclear fashion.” They did not avoid the opportunity to refer to tragic events in the history of Japan. The war really influenced a whole galaxy of Japanese designers. In the 80s, they conquered Europe and the United States with their disturbing and dark collections, and the brightest star on the horizon of Japanese deconstructionism was Rei Kawakubo.

The collection was called Destroy - “Destroy”. Models marched down the runway to the beat of drums in baggy black robes with various sizes of holes, which Rae described as “our lace.” That year she was already forty years old, and her brand Comme des Garçons was ten years old, and she was quite famous in Japan. Fans of her work were called a “flock of crows” - most of the things were black.

Despite the outrage of critics, the Japanese rebel quickly gained success among the public, tired of elegant silhouettes and restrictive evening dresses.
Her collections blur all boundaries: fashion and art, east and west, men's and women's, depression and meditation.

She denies trends.

A combination of incongruous things, decayed lace, worn leather, crumpled, torn fabric - Rey treats the material cruelly. To create some collections, she buried fabrics in the ground for several weeks so that they acquired the necessary texture. Expensive cashmere was boiled down to the state of felt, luxurious silk was left to fade in the sun...

Kawakubo's cut is equally radical. She admits that she hates symmetry - life begins where perfection ends.

Kawakubo defines his main task very simply: “creating things that have never existed.” It’s as if she’s blowing up the clothing design familiar to Europeans, adding extra sleeves, shifting the shirt collar to the hips, and sewing another skirt to the skirt.

In the early 90s, the dominant color in her work was black - now Kawakubo’s palette has become much richer.

One of her most significant and scandalous collections is the “Brokeback Collection” of 1997. Models appeared on the catwalk in costumes that deformed their bodies - huge shoulders and hips, asymmetrical shapes, humps...

There is not a hint of sexuality in Kawakubo's collections.

Kawakubo's experiments are based on war and feminism. In the seventies, a generation grew up in Japan that did not experience the war, but remembered the alarming atmosphere of the post-war decade. During these years, a feminist movement was formed in Japan, which, however, did not have such influence as in the West.
Rei Kawakubo often spoke about the pressure she experienced in her youth. By choosing a creative career and education instead of a family, she gained fame as a hopeless egoist. This irritated her terribly in her youth, and even now she cites anger as one of the driving forces in her work.

Her collections are a story about a woman who does not have to be attractive to men, expose herself or emphasize her figure. Rae questioned Western ideals of beauty and the ideals and rules of European fashion.

She cannot draw, prefers to explain her ideas using gestures and layouts, and works more like a sculptor than an artist. This is where her career began - Rey once worked in a fabric store and became interested in creating draperies on mannequins.

Her favorite technique is to forget. She begins a new collection by forgetting everything she has seen before. She is inspired not by fashion, but by accidents - a photograph, a person on the street, an intangible image, something in a trash can... The most difficult thing is the beginning.

Her fashion brand is called Comme des Garçons - "like boys", which, according to Rey, makes no sense.

Rey is in control. Unlike many of her colleagues, she does not limit herself to creating images, but manages the business at every stage. The atmosphere of the stores, the placement of the logo on the brochure page, the thickness of the border on the dress - all are equally important to Kawakubo. Everything must be subordinated to her philosophy and aesthetics.

Comme des Garçons boutiques often open in demolition buildings, where there is no need to spend extra money on decoration, because shabby wallpaper and peeling plaster serve as the best decorations for clothes from Rei Kawakubo.
In addition to clothing, Comme des Garçons produces accessories, perfumes, and furniture.

The fabrics for Kawakubo's collections are also created under her constant supervision. It invests money in textile development and in the restoration of old technologies, for example, it buys up machines from old, bankrupt industries in order to use them again. The technology for creating complex textures of Comme des Garçons items is a trade secret.

Rei Kawakubo is always looking for something new.

This is what happened with the creation of perfume - Rey managed to bring very strange and shocking scents to the market. She says she uses the most unusual combinations she can think of - rubber, nail polish, volcano ash, sea water, cellulose doll hair, metal, sand, pebbles, clay, soda and artificial leather. The Odeur 53 fragrance contains as many as fifty-three crazy ingredients! They have one thing in common: they are all non-organic, which is completely uncharacteristic for the perfume industry.
Advertising for the Comme des Garçons brand does not include images of the clothes themselves - here Rey also breaks the generally accepted rules.

Today critics say that every second designer has something from Rei Kawakubo in the collections. And she... doesn't plan to stop there.

Still think Comme des Garcons is from France? Last summer I ran all over Paris in search of the treasured bottle of the fifth series of perfume Sherbet Peppermint. The French widened their eyes and looked at me in disbelief at the mention of Comme des Garcons. Imagine my surprise when I found out that the founder of the brand called “Like Boys” is a slender Japanese woman Rei Kawakubo, a peculiar, strange and unsociable woman.

Despite her philological education, Rey rejects everything generally accepted; she is more inspired by chaos, and her style is called “anti-fashion”. When the whole world switches to a neutral range of shades and begins to love nude, Kawakubo remains faithful to black, continues to experiment and rush from one extreme to another. Maybe, having gotten to know her better, you will also want to add a piece of chaos to your life?

1. Rei Kawakubo does not speak to the press

It would seem that when you are the owner of about 80 boutiques around the world, it is difficult to avoid contact with the press, but Rey succeeds. The president of the company (who is also Rei’s husband) is responsible for communicating with the press, since Mrs. Kawakubo herself is an uncommunicative person and does not like journalists.

2. Rei Kawakubo is not reinventing the wheel.

The designer once said about herself that anything, even an item thrown into the trash can, can inspire her to create a new collection. Rey is creative and is of the opinion that there is no point in showing what has been invented before.

3. Rei Kawakubo can't sew

At university, Rey studied philosophy and literature, and not design art at all. Without any sewing skills, Kawakubo showed the tailors with her fingers what she wanted to get in the end.

4. Rei Kawakubo hates symmetry

Cut the fabric into pieces, crumple them, tear off the pockets, and then sew them back on. This is how Rei Kawakubo's collections are created. Geometry and irregular shapes, constantly different, but always recognizable, are the hallmark of the brand.

5. Rei Kawakubo doesn't stick to boundaries.

The designer does not force lovers of his brand to adhere to her style and always leaves the opportunity to remake the image. The versatility of her models is amazing: transformable dresses; trousers that turn into skirts; sleeves that change length – this woman’s imagination is limitless.

6. Rei Kawakubo does not tolerate indifference

Comme des Garcons either do not understand or admire it, but Rei Kawakubo’s style has not left anyone indifferent. I don’t know about you, but I just dream of trying her perfume Odeur 53, which contains 53 notes that no one has even tried to combine before. Odeur 53 smells like burnt rubber, sand and nail polish.

7. Rei Kawakubo doesn't let anyone interfere

The designer herself controls all processes within her company: both the creation of collections and their production. As Kawakubo herself believes, her approach should always remain unchanged and recognizable, and for this it is necessary to take into account all the details, even the thickness of the door in the boutique.

8. Rei Kawakubo doesn't like labels

When the designer is asked what direction her style belongs to, she smiles mysteriously. Without answers, journalists can only compete in wit and invent their own names: “post-nuclear fashion”, “Hiroshima chic”, “avant-garde”, “blow on cliches”.

9. Rei Kawakubo is not greedy

Many fashion houses offer cooperation to the famous Japanese woman. In 2008, Kawakubo participated in the creation of a collection of bags for the world famous Louis Vuitton, in 2009 she created outfits for Barbie dolls, and in 2012 she developed designs for the famous Hermes scarves.

Rei Kawakubo: the aroma of Japanese ink and... the smog of smoking incense

Although Comme des Garcons' recognition around the world has increased since Kawakubo arrived in Europe, exports account for only 10% of the brand's total sales. A quarter of the stores selling Comme des Garcons products are located outside Japan and only carry a small portion of the brand's lines. Homme, Homme Deux, Tricot and Robe de Chambre are lines that are created mainly for Japanese market. It is said that Comme des Garcons clothing is more popular than Yamamoto and Issey Miyake combined. Rei Kawakubo is still the first person and owner of Comme des Garcons Ltd. She dictates all the artistic and business policies of her company. After successfully conquering the market outside Japan, outside the "country rising sun“The production of Comme des Garcons clothing also began to develop, mainly in France. Kawakubo has long resisted attempts to license Comme des Garcons products. Only one Italian company, Pallucco, has the right to produce fittings under this name.

Rei Kawakubo:

Rei Kawakubo was born in Tokyo in 1942. Rei studied philosophy at the prestigious Keio University. Without receiving a special education as a clothing designer, she studied fine arts and literature, so she can easily convey her ideas to designers and seamstresses. After graduation, Kawakubo worked at a textile company and tried her hand as a stylist.

In 1969, she came up with her own label, calling it the words from the song - Comme des Garcons (from French - “like boys”, “boyish”). But, according to company representatives, Rey did not put any special meaning into the name. Her first collections were designed exclusively in gray, beige, and most importantly, black. And when the fashion designer, who herself dresses exclusively in black, introduced color into her work, it caused a certain sensation. Often, not having the opportunity to draw the contours of the model, Ray explained to her designers “on her fingers” what she wanted to see in the material.

In 1973, an entire company, Comme des Garcons Co., was founded in Tokyo. Ltd. Comme des Garcons specializes in so-called anti-fashion, strict and sometimes deconstructive designs that sometimes lack sleeves or other components. These clothes, predominantly black, dark gray and white, are often displayed with combat boots.

In 1978, Kawakubo launched a men's line. The same year the fragrance was released Comme des Garcons Homme.

In 1980, Ray moved to Paris. Her company, Comme des Garcons, specializes in “anti-fashion”: destructive models with exaggeratedly large shoulders, double collars, pockets located “up”, and with “holes” in the most unexpected places.

In 1981, Rey launched fragrances Tricot Comme des Garcons And Robe de Chambre Comme des Garcons.

In 1982, Comme des Garcons was accepted as a member of the Paris Pret-a-Porter Syndicate. At the same time, the first personalized boutique was opened in Paris. After a successful "invasion" in the fashion capital, Comme des Garcons clothing is often the subject of exhibitions around the world.

The fragrance was released in 1984 Comme des Garcons Homme Plus.

In 1987, Rei Kawakubo was awarded the title of best designer by the prestigious Parisian fashion publication Journal de Textile. Three fragrances were released this year: Comme des Garcons Homme Deux, Comme des Garcons Noir And Comme des Garcons Shirt.

Since 1992, a young Japanese designer, Rei Kawakubo's protégé, Juniya Watanabe, began producing his models under the Comme des Garcons brand. The same year the fragrance was released Junya Watanabe Comme des Garcons.

In 1993 he released the fragrance Comme des Garcons Comme des Garcons. The scent is both masculine and feminine at the same time. For men it will not be cloying and sweet, and for women it will not be overly strict and conservative. According to its creator, this aroma was supposed to act on a person like a medicine, giving him energy - a kind of aromatic analogue of coffee. His avant-garde concept was based on ancient Indian medicine - Ayurveda. The exclusivity of this creation was emphasized by vacuum packaging - the buyer knew that this fragrance was intended only for him.

In 1995, the House of Comme des Garcons released a new version of the fragrance in a new design. Comme des Garcons, like the scent of Comme des Garcons Comme Love Hurts. The concept of the scent is this: a black scent, like Japanese ink used to write ancient manuscripts, contrasts and combinations, light and shadow. This is an exciting game between a man and a woman, a formula of love at the tip of a hint.

In 1997, a clothing collection from Rei Kawakubo questioned body proportions. Stuffing awkwardly cut plaid skirts and blouses with pillows and thick padding, Kawakubo turns his models into deformed, hunchbacked monsters. The Tokyo-trained fashion designer embraces Japanese aesthetics, where irregularity and imperfection are traditionally valued as signs of being alive. She talks about herself as a fashion designer, but her vision of fashion is more characteristic not of a fashion designer, but of sculpture. Today, Kawakubo’s lace pullover can be seen in London’s Museum of Modern Art, but at one time it took her a lot of effort to explain to critics the beauty of this holey, moth-eaten item. Agree, teach knitting machine From time to time, lowering the loops so that it looks as if the pullover came out of the workshop of a knitting circle “with inept hands” is a great art. Her clothes are for those who, when wearing them, receive a certain energy from it.

In 1998 he released the fragrance Comme des Garcons Homme Homme And Odeur 53 by Comme des Garcons. The main feature of the aroma Odeur 53 there was a complete lack of structure. It is impossible to distinguish the beginning, middle and ending notes. An unusual, avant-garde and mysteriously attractive aroma was created on the basis of 53 odors of inorganic materials such as: desert sand, fire, rubber, oxygen.

In 2000, another surprise was the release of perfume Odeur 71, consisting of 71 ingredients, including such “office” odors as the smell of ink and fax toner. A mysterious bouquet that combines artificial aldehydes and natural aromas of orange, tangerine and magnolia. It is his bright side. But the East also has back side- black, which was born in a combination of the aroma of Japanese calligraphy ink and the smog of smoking incense. This unusual union is emphasized by an oriental chypre composition of patchouli, labdanum, amber, vetiver, Chinese cedar, juniper oil and angelica root.

In 2002, Rey created the fragrance Comme de garcon - 3. The impetus for the creation of the fragrance was a photograph of an entire field of solidified lava, where a tiny flower grew, which managed to find its way to the light. At first, a combination of smoky notes was built, but the smell did not work, it lacked the charm of vitality, which was in the photo. And then Ray realized that having found herself in extreme conditions, the flower became half... mechanical. To reproduce its aroma, a perfume component was specially invented - rose oxide, combining the aroma of rose with cool metallic notes. And the image of an imaginary flower turned out - colorless, incorporeal, awakening secret instincts. This main scent is surrounded by themes of fresh green unpicked hazelnut shells and silky notes of suede and violet, also synthesized specifically for Comme de Garcon - 3. The result is a bold and changeable, woody-metallic scent with a green tone. Top notes: mandarin orange, magnolia leaf, gingko biloba leaf, basil, black currant bud, red peppercorns; Heart notes: angelica root, cardamom, mulava, immortelle, grains of paradise, black rose leaf, freesia leaf, jasmine sambac; Base notes: Lebanese cedar, sandalwood, gaiac, Javanese vetiver, patchouli, birch essence, olibanum incense, amber. The aroma is universal, suitable for both evening and daytime meetings.

In 2004-2005 one of the brightest events of the week that opened in Paris men's fashion was the show of the “Autumn-Winter 2004/2005” collection of the fashion house “Comme des Garcons”. “I always start by forgetting everything I did before and ignoring everything that already exists. I can be inspired by a random photograph, a person on the street, a feeling or sensation, something meaningless, maybe even a useless and thrown into the trash bin object - anything. The most difficult thing is the beginning, the concept of the collection. The most interesting thing is to finish the collection on time...”

Pearly Monster White Comme des Garcons, but now he was “dressed” in jersey, decorated with black oblong beads and pearls. Perfumery

At the end of 2006, Comme des Garcons gave its fans an unusual New Year's gift: She gave them a "pearl monster". This is exactly how the name of the new perfume is translated Pearly Monster. This limited edition is housed in a bottle similar to the fragrance White Comme des Garcons, but now he was “dressed” in jersey, decorated with black oblong beads and pearls. The perfume composition consists of notes of spices, lily of the valley, May rose, pomegranate, vanilla, cedar and amber.

In 2007, the avant-garde brand Comme des Garcon's decided to master the art of jewelry and delight its fans with pearl products. Rei Kawakubo, designer of the Comme des Garcon's brand, began producing a jewelry line and gave it the very consonant name “Couture”, beautiful South Pacific pearls truly deserve it. Comme des Garcon's first pearl necklaces are very romantic, in contrast to the usual style of the brand. On the one hand, the jewelry is symmetrical, they are closed, strict, majestic, they do not have fatal and defiant meanings, as well as an excessive touch of intellectuality. However, they are unusually sublime and mysterious. Necklaces not only include pearls of different shades, but also chains. Note that pearls are now in incredible fashion and are not going to lose their positions; this year many jewelry houses have released collections with them.

_________________

Since the creation of Comme des Garçons in 1969, Rei Kawakubo has had her own, completely unusual for society, view of clothing and presentation of the brand.

The Japanese designer made a real revolution in the fashion business by sharing her own concept of what “fashion” is. At the moment, Kawakubo is no less a far-sighted person, but she is still “swept by darkness”; these are the words used by the head of the famous empire to describe his eternal search for something new.

For the JAPANISM website, we found a short, very succinct and, as we thought, interesting interview published last year by Interview Magazine. It should appeal to anyone who would like to get to know the mysterious personality of Rei Kawakubo.

How would you like the wearers of Comme des Garçons clothes to feel?

What people wear is an expression of personality. If you feel comfortable in what you're wearing, you'll never have new thoughts. I want people to feel something, to think about who they are. You cannot become absolutely free if you stop thinking about clothes. Sometimes you have to allow yourself to wear something strong and dynamic, but it just makes you feel weird. But this helps to realize the fact of one’s existence, thereby confirming the existence of a relationship with society. I think people experience an indescribable feeling when they come into contact with “something” made by “someone” beyond their reach and understanding. When you put on clothes that stand up to something, you will immediately realize how you become stronger and more courageous. Clothes have the power to liberate.

What is your creative process like?

I always pursue the goal of doing something that has not been done before, “groping in the dark,” and not only when I am creating a collection. Search is a constant in my Everyday life. But constantly looking for something new is like looking for a well in the desert, like “drowning” in the dark, wandering in the unknown. But the very fact of creation is exactly what Comme des Garçons is built on. When I reflect on new collection, I need to paint myself into a corner to find a way to get through the walls. At first, incoherent ideas appear, confusedly and slowly, then the final idea is formed.

Do you consider fashion to be an art form?

When fashion moves consciousness, I believe that in this case it can be called one of the forms of art. In my work, I have no concept for the definition of “art”. Clothes take on their final form only when they begin to be worn. In this case, if clothing were art, it would be more abstract. As long as the result is something completely unknown to anyone, I don't mind if people call it art. Try wearing this, if you dare, of course.

How to balance art and commerce?

Comme des Garçons is a company based on creativity, but also business aspect cannot be ignored. As a designer who runs a company, I had the opportunity to “build” the brand and the company around the same values. I take full responsibility for what I create, from start to finish. Consequently, the result is an independent, extremely clear and final idea. Creativity and creation is our business.

What is your ultimate goal?

There is no end and no goal. As long as I try to create something that did not exist before, there can be no question of the end.

How important is the visual component of a brand?

Extremely important. I don't trust words.

What is beauty?

Beauty should bring excitement and excitement.

Rei Kawakubo is the founder of the famous brand Comme des Garcons, which means “like a boy.” She was born in Tokyo in 1942. She did not have the opportunity to receive an appropriate design education, so all the subtleties of this art were studied by the future fashion designer on her own. Rei could easily convey her ideas to designers and seamstresses. The latter could, according to her words, easily create models and implement their plans.

A little later, Rei Kawakubo was able to take sewing courses. After graduating, she worked in a textile company. Rei also tried herself as a stylist. However, in 1969 she created her own clothing brand - Comme des Garcons, which corresponded to the title of one of her favorite songs. Comme des Garcons Co. Ltd., which was founded in 1973, specialized in the production women's clothing. But already in 1978, a men's line was also launched.

Moving to Paris opened up the opportunity for Rey to annually demonstrate her collections in the fashion capital itself.

Features of Rei Kawakubo's style

While most designers work according to fashion standards, Rey does away with symmetry. She uses crinkled fabric in dark, inky black shades. By leaving unfinished seams, crumpling various parts and mercilessly shredding fabric, Kawakubo hides what other fashion designers are trying to emphasize - the features and beauty of the female body. Her line of women's clothing is unpredictable, contradictory, and goes against generally accepted concepts of style. Her collections are distinguished by their special own style. A clear love of deconstruction leads to the absence of sleeves and inverted pockets - this and much more you will find in her collections.

Not every fashionista will like clothes from Rei Kawakubo. However, lovers of experiments will be able to discover a lot of new things with her outfits. Perhaps Rei's clothing will help you better express your inner self. Remember that the emphasis in clothing should be on one, maximum two details. As for colors, Rei Kawakubo's clothes cross out all ideas about their compatibility. Be bold.
