PREVIOUS DSM & CDG COLLABS

Comme Des Garcons has produced a stunning line-up of collaborations over the years, blurring the lines between fashion and streetwear thanks to their idiosyncratic charm. The most successful collaborations have been sneaker collaborations, with brands such as Nike and Converse however the brand has also collaborated with a number of streetwear brands such as The North Face, Supreme and Stussy. The success of these collabs comes from CDG’s ability to reinterpret classic pieces with a new set of style codes.
