COMME DES GARCONS

True to resourceful form, Comme des Garçons has just launched its economic downturn-beating Black range from the Dover Street Market store.

Whipped up by Rei Kawakubo as an ‘emergency reaction to the recession’, the Black range has been designed to inject a little downturn-defying glamour into the ailing fashion market.

Along with today’s launch in London, eleven Black range concessions will open over the course of June, with six in Japan, one each in Seoul and Hong Kong, and two entirely new stores in Paris and New York.
