Rei Kawakubo and her team have created a space that is part retail outlet, part museum in the MVRDV-designed Gyre Building in Omotesando, Tokyo. Kawakubo’s purchase of several beautiful antique wooden display cabinets from the V&A Museum was ‘perhaps the moment that the idea of the trading museum came about’. Shoppers can find not only edited Comme des Garcons collections, but a creative selection of old and new fashion items, accessories, jewellery and objects, including the recently launched ‘Beatles by Comme des Garçons’ range. Selected vintage Comme des Garcons pieces are showcased, but not for sale. If any brand deserves to have a mini museum in their honor, the it must be Comme des Garcons. I wanna go!!
