Comme Des Garcons the influential Japanese fashion house founded by Rei Kawakubo in 1969. Known for challenging traditional ideas of beauty, CDG built its reputation on asymmetry, deconstruction, and unconventional silhouettes. Kawakubo’s designs often blur the line between art and fashion. In the early 2010s, the CDG Play line introduced a more accessible and playful side of the brand. Featuring the now iconic heart with eyes motif, CDG Play made avant garde fashion approachable for everyday wearers. This visual identity became the centerpiece of the CDG Converse collaboration.
