Comme des Garçons Meets North Face Japan

Comme des Garçons’ newest collaboration with The North Face Japan is a unity between two drastically different brands resulting in a chic end product. The collection consists of a hoodie, T-shirt, and dress shirt, each marked with The North Face logo and Comme des Garçons’s heart icon. The products being sold exclusively by the latter brand have an additional “CdG” emblem on them. The goal of this collaboration is a common one among fashion labels, which is to provide clothing that is both warm and stylish.

To appreciate the impressive synchronization between Comme des Garçons and The North Face, it is important to understand their stark differences. Comme des Garçons is a high-fashion French and Japanese label whose garments are bizarre and experimental yet classy and elegant. Meanwhile, The North Face has been providing rock climbers, hikers, and other outdoor adventurers with durable layers that withstand the elements. Thus, by allying with The North Face, Comme des Garçons will reach a more casually-outfitted audience while in turn giving outdoorsmen attire a more avant-garde flair.
