TRADING MUSEUM COMME des GARÇONS

Is the new very exciting project by COMME des GARÇONs in TOKYO.

But what is a "Trading Museum"?

Museums can be of many kinds and be founded for many purposes, such as a recreation, study, education, tourism and even for civic pride.
Trade has probably existed in one form or another for about 150.000 years. The realm of trading is where mankind's most significant meetings take place, bringing together all kinds of people, randomly and deliberately.

TRADING MUSEUM COMME des GARÇONS is the space where two above mentioned notions come together.

The Concept: the design and the furniture are by REI KAWAKUBO including 8 antique wooden show cabinets from The Victioria & Albert Museum.

The Products: For sale or for display including - CdG x The Beatles, archive jewelries from Christian Astuguevieille, Stephen Jones black vintage feather hats, vintage CdG exhibition, edited selection of CdG lines, CdG SHIRT made to order, CdG Six bibliotheca with T-Shirts specially made for Trading Museum plus many many more!

COMME des GARÇONS x THE BEATLES

Here it is the first image of the very anticipated collection of COMME des GARÇONS x The Beatles.

REI KAWAKUBO told WWD she opted for a "strong, conceptual" approach to the project "instead of making many unnecessary items that may in time come to resemble a Beatles souvenir shop"

" I thought it was better to concentrate on one strong idea, so I decided to construct the collection around the one idea of bags " she said.

Official launch is November 20th.
