EXPLORING THE NEW COMME DES GARÇONS BOUTIQUE IN PARIS

By Martina Conte

The iconic fashion brand, Comme des Garçons, has reached a new milestone in Paris. The brand recently relocated from its previous address at 54 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré to its new location at 56 rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré in the 8th arrondissement of the French capital. This new address offers a unique shopping experience, in line with Comme des Garçons’ avant-garde reputation. Here is everything you need to know about this exceptional new boutique:

The new Comme des Garçons boutique spans four levels and occupies an impressive 800 square meters of space, with approximately 620 square meters dedicated to the sales floor. This is a significant transformation from the old boutique, providing a more spacious and immersive shopping experience. This store is one-of-a-kind as it’s the only place in the world where you can find the famous Comme des Garçons chairs. Additionally, a special red edition has been designed exclusively for this occasion, making it a highly coveted collector’s item.

The creator of Comme des Garçons, Rei Kawakubo, shares her vision for this new retail space: “I wanted to make a shop where people can experiment, explore and discover rooms one by one”
“I’m not convinced that people really are satisfied with shopping on the internet…I think the pleasure of shopping is finding things yourself.”
“I wanted to make the spaces as interesting and as new as all the clothes I make.”

This new Comme des Garçons boutique in Paris promises a unique shopping experience for fashion enthusiasts and collectors. With its expansive space, special editions, and the very essence of Rei Kawakubo’s creativity, it quickly becomes a must-visit for fashion connoisseurs in Paris and beyond.
