Kawakubo's heavy use of black distressed fabrics, and unfinished seams were viewed negatively by French critics. In 1981, the company had a debut show in Paris. The brand's name was inspired by Françoise Hardy's 1962 song " Tous les garçons et les filles", particularly from the line " Comme les garçons et les filles de mon âge." The brand became successful in Japan in the 1970s and a menswear line was added in 1978. The name translates as "like boys" in French. It is written in Japanese as コム・デ・ギャルソン ( Komu de Gyaruson). The label was started in Tokyo by Rei Kawakubo in 1969 and established as a company in 1973. Comme des Garçons for H&M tuxedo jacket, 2009 ![]()
