Comme Des Garçons dress

Comme des Garçons is the iconic Japanese fashion house founded by Rei Kawakubo, renowned for its avant-garde and unconventional designs. 'Kawakubo dramatically changed what we consider to be fashion. Since her Paris debut in 1981, Kawakubo has challenged the status quo in both mens and womenswear with her radical use of references, proportion, and technique, in increasingly abstract shows.' - Excerpt from Dazed

STORY

Pre-loved by a fashion stylist. ‘I bought this in the 80’s from Comme in Europe. It was a sample. This was my pregnancy dress because it allowed for a pregnant belly. Back in those days, women wore Laura Ashley floral dresses during pregnancy, but this is what I wanted to wear, I loved it. I would wear a men’s style clumpy loafer to wear with it.’
