Kyoto is buzzing with excitement as COMME des GARÇONS makes a grand return, but this time, it's not just about the fashion. The iconic brand has transformed its Kyoto store into a bold, three-floor haven, marking a significant shift from its former dark, 'freezer' concept. But here's where it gets controversial... Is this new, minimalist design a step too far? And this is the part most people miss... The store's iconic, jet-black exterior still stands, but the interior has been completely reimagined, creating a striking contrast. So, what's the verdict? Is this redesign a bold, innovative move or a step away from the brand's signature style? We want to hear from you! Let us know in the comments whether you're a fan of the new look or a holdout of the old. The reopened COMME des GARÇONS store is a comprehensive hub for the CDG universe, showcasing a range of brands, from HOMME PLUS and PLAY to tao and JUNYA WATANABE. To celebrate, the store hosted an in-store, mini-runway show for the BLACK COMME des GARÇONS SS26 collection, emphasizing genderless, universal appeal with deconstructed tailoring and subversive play with proportions. The collection's monochromatic, layered silhouettes were a sight to behold. The store is located at 378 Kameyacho, Nakagyo Ward, Kyoto, 604-0941, Japan.
