99 people including Manabe, Kusama, and Otomo talk about Comme des Garçons! A big feature in the August issue of EYESCREAM

Jun 30, 2014

The August issue of men's culture magazine EYESCREAM (Space Shower Network), released on July 1st, will feature COMME des GARÇONS as its main feature. The title of the feature is "99 PERSPECTIVES on COMME des GARÇONS."

The content is simple and clear: the magazine poses different questions to 99 creators, who then talk about what COMME des GARÇONS means to them. The company's request, stated at the beginning of the feature, is "We don't want to repeat the same thing. If you're going to do it, we want you to come up with a new angle."

The 54-page issue features a diverse cast of people, from those closely associated with Comme des Garçons to the new generation, including Banana Yoshimoto, Pharrell Williams, Kazumi Kurigami, Kunihiko Morinaga, Hiroki Nakamura, Yuji Ashida, Jun Takahashi, Daito Manabe, Takeo Kikuchi, Kazuyo Sejima, Katsuhiro Otomo, Toshiyuki Inoko, Verbal, Julien Diss, Hirofumi Kurino, Katsuya Kamo, Bajou, Yayoi Kusama, and Philip Pagowski. Each speaks in a variety of ways, including through interviews, contributions, and visual creation.

The cover graphic was created by artist Kosuke Kawamura, who has previously collaborated with Katsuhiro Otomo, by copying various printed materials related to Comme des Garçons.

Comme des Garçons has been featured prominently in magazines such as "High Fashion," "Pen," and "Bijutsu Techo" in the past, but they have now teamed up with an unexpected magazine, EYESCREAM, which has a strong street style.
