COMME des GARÇONS brand list is nearly endless and understanding what each of them are requires a bit of research and patience. Luckily Reggie has done the work for you. On this episode of WTH we break down pretty much all the important labels under the CDG banner so you won't have to.

Need this but with Yohji, it’s borderline overwhelming to get into these labels with so many sub-labels, you don’t know where to start
On the way Jordan. On the way.
if you go to their theshop website, you can click into each sublabels and there will be a short description of that label.
You have heart shoes? Now name every CDG sublabel under the sun!
cdg wallets are underrated. from the zippers to the durability. the color choices too. if you took out the logo on the front or insides of the wallet you can still tell its cdg.
mine fell apart within a week lol
No lie. I’ve had my CDG wallet for roughly 5 years and it still looks the same. Shout out to the ex that got it for me Valentine’s Day 2017
@@ennuibeats6138 lol I love it 😂
What is worth also mentioning is that Rei Kawakubo and Adrian Joffe spotted Jacquemus, who used to work at the CdG flagship in Paris, and also the Dover Street Market Paris brand incubator with ERL, RASSVIET, Yotuhs in Balaclavas and more
Didn't cover the original Noir line from 87 (before Kei Ninomiya) , Girl, Shirt Girl or Speedo! (yep that's the swimwear line)
Kidding lol, this is great Reggie - there's not many places to get an overview of the Comme universe, so I think this will be a helpful resource for people.
Would love to see the same done with Yohji and his sub labels or even Undercover.
killing me! lol Yohji on the way
Speedo isn’t a line. It’s a collaboration.
@@genesis2187 it was a ongoing collaboration - it had multiple seperate releases/collections.
It's just as much a line as CdG Beatles or Eye Junya was. I think Wikipedia even cites Speedo as a line.
@@jcg_001 I personally see it more as a Nike or spalwart kind of relationship rather then it being an actual ‘line’.
I think Comme des garçon doesn’t have too many sub labels but instead it’s exciting to see so many choices to pick from, and regardless what you choose you feel a deep connection with the clothes and feel that cdg magic. Honestly finding cdg items in any label is such an amazing feeling. Also please do a wth for fragment design, I would love to understand it more.
Always steps ahead the fashion industry, maintaining those subs labels, the respect i have for her just multiplies as much as those subs labels 🙏🏾
Reggie back with another guide video. I really appreciate. I would love if you would talk about Undercover's UNDAKVR One-Offs as well!
Noted!
Brilliant commentary! I couldn't keep up with the many labels....thanks 😊
You KILLED it with this episode. Great work!
This is amazing thanks for all the info Reggie ✌🏻🙏🏻
No doubt!
@@THECASUALco Hey what’s your thoughts on STILL BY HAND clothing brand. Just purchased a few pieces from them.
I love their button up shirts, but sometimes it’s a bit difficult to search under Comme Des Garçons SHIRT specifically compared to the button ups under Homme or BLACK.
One of the most informative fashion channels on CZcams on god ‼️🤌🏾🗣®️
What is Reggie's t-shirt? It looks perfect for humid summer days.
looks like a waffle knit shirt, look at Uniqlo for something similar
Rei Kawakubo’s and thus Comme des Garcons’ genius is not well understood by the western world or at least goes underappreciated. The only reason the brand is known by people is the Play line, which isn’t a bad thing, it just doesn’t represent what the label really stands for.
Kawakubo really jumpstarted Japanese fashion and brought it to the forefront of fashion which I am so happy about. It’s one of my favorite brands because it’s never afraid to shock the world yet again. They want the designs to be their way and if people don’t like it, then so be it. They will change their minds in 5 years hehe.
One of the best videos you have put out Reggie. Thanks for all this info, you the best!
Great video but you missed Girl! 😁
Also since you dove into DSM, a future fun video might talking about their stores like Trading Museum, guerilla stores, the Aoyama main store (which has some exclusives), Rose Bakery, and others just to see how Rei has innovated around the shopping experience.
yeah a soon as it was filmed and edited I told myself "We missed Girl..."
As far as Trading Museum, Rose Bakery, and guerilla stores, I been to them and they are amazing... It's just we would love to do those onsite but according to Kawakubo and co I need a press pass. Especially Trading Museum, thats one of my favorite installations.
@@THECASUALco yes! I love going to the Roppongi and GYRE stores. In my mind it's a mini-DSM but that isn't quite the right description either, as they sometimes sell archive and show more prominent displays of past and current collections the way a museum might, really putting the clothing forward.
Comme Des Garcons feels like the Kingdom Hearts of the fashion world
CDG Key Blade is probably dropping soon.
Hope you and yours are staying safe in Japan, in these times I’m super thankful you’re still making A⭐️ content, thank you.
don’t forget Workshop, Y’s for Men Shirt, and Y’s for Living (often forgetten) in the Yohji line-up 😊
My fav is Homme Plus by far.
More stuff like this..
We definitely agree
Love everything CDG but Play, Black, and Shirt specifically.
Great video! Super informative.
I’m surprised you haven’t mentioned the collab with 10 Corso Como which had its own store in Tokyo.
PS: i love your t-shirt
I wish someone make a timeline to visualise all of this, its so extensive and amazing
Great vid. I'm going to need the Junya one asap!
This was dope, I'll gladly take more videos like this !
And your t'shirt is also pretty fire too btw, where is it from ?
Great video, would love to see more videos like this, especially one on Yohji!!
Yohji is coming soon as well
Thank you!!!
Why do I feel this text was from Dry Clean Only?[defunctdefunctdefunct]
Can you do the video on CDG collabs? Or just the most iconic and game-changing collabs of Japanese brands? Or maybe on Beams or Ivy wave or how punk came to Japan? Or maybe on Hiroshi Fujiwara or tales of Nowhere and how all Ura-Hara brands are interconnected at their roots? Thank you
On the Ura-Hara brands, I feel you can get more insightful information and historic facts while being there in Japan rather than us who can only learn about it online. Thank you so much you are the best!
We have a whole series on the channel about the history of Japanese Fashion. We can update it but it’s definitely a resource.
Can you do an episode how did eric emanuel entered tye fashion industry with a different way thru focusing on other products different from what any brand does like shirts he focused on creating shorts i think his sucess story is a great example for new brands that shows there is no only way when starting a streetwear brand
I missed you guys !!!
THANK GOD YOU DID THIS VIDEO
thank you.
Great video.
2:12 It is possible that she was being ironic when she said that. When Rei went to college, her mother decided to go back to the work force, but Rei's father said no. So she divorced him and did what she wanted to do
There’s no way to know this kind of information except that her father was a student of Fukuzawa Yukichi who is credited with being one of the founders of modern Japan. Fukuzawa was also a reformer who was CERTAINLY a champion of women’s rights. Fukuzawa was also the founder of Keio University where her father was an administrator. So using all that information I would suspect that Kawakubo wasn’t being ironic at all. For all we know there were other reasons why a divorce might of happened. Keep in mind as well that it was INCREDIBLY difficult for women to divorce in Japan post war well into the 1970s. Essentially Kawakubo’s father had to agree to it, which would mean that he probably WAS a champion of women’s rights by “allowing” it at all.
One thing is clear however, we often take the narrative that we feel most comfortable with but my philosophy is to always piece together the story through all the context and apply it to every factor; whether that is the culture, the time period, and the pertinent information that likely reveals the truth. In the case of Rei, she’s always been quite “matter of fact” so while I don’t know everything the information plus her disposition leads me to believe she was being truthful.
you should really make a video for junya watanabe, simply for him being the heir and modern fashion powerhouse pls he’s my fav under rei
Junya is definitely coming
what shirt is he wearing?!
Can you do a video about the #Fr2 ? Like i want to know more about this brand since i don't live in Japan
You'll love the next episode then...
Love everything CDG. LETS GOOOOO
Good Video! Name of beat playing in background?
You mention around 3:00 that Europe didn’t like CDG at first. Why was that?
It wasn’t considered glamorous and flamboyant which the most popular fashion houses at the time represented.
Im looking to buy a CDG Play tshirt. Is it worth paying for the brand? I rather pay made in Japan tshirt than made in China BAPE
Is COMME des GARÇON Jacket a real thing too?
Never heard of that officially. They sometimes do special collaborations with lewis leathers and other brands outside of their core collections.
@@vmanor Ahh ok I guess you're right cuz I think it was a collab with New Balance on a 997S
Come de Garçon on is not Play, better just know what you copping only option is the lastest- Jayhonch0
wth on fucking awesome and supremes connections and just fa?
3:45 song ?
