| paris, 23, place du marche, st. honore comme des garcons specializes in anti-fashion, austere, sometimes deconstructed garments, perhaps lacking a sleeve or another component. new york's comme des garcons in chelsea was the first of her new shops. 'my shops', says rei kawakubo, 'are conceived of for people who get energy from wearing these clothes, who like taking risks'. 'playful formalism' was how kawakubo described her new small, simple, clean comme des garcons perfume shop in paris. the interior features a gently curving, white, steel shelf that holds the five perfumes for sale. while kawakubo and takao kawasaki designed the interiors, future systems architects was enlisted for the shop exterior. jan kaplicky and amanda work from offices in central london. elements of the paris interior are reminiscent of her latest shops in tokyo and new york, also designed by the same consultants. future systems created a glass veil that moves from translucency to transparency, through the use of a pink-graded film between two layers of laminated glass, laid over the stone facade. http://www.future-systems.com see a short biography of rei kawakubo  ----------------- see also the paris commes des garcons 'red' shop  ----------------- ---  ------- monthly designboom newsletter ------- ------- ? comments and contact us ? -------  |
