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. For example, the Supreme x COMME des GARÇONS SHIRT items were elevated with Rei Kawakubo’s favored avant-garde design motifs, like polka dots as well as unexpected fabric combinations and fractured graphics.

Similarly Dover Street Market has also done many collaborations with brands taking on the same principles as their parent brand CDG. Dover Street has a broad range of collaborations, some where DSM is the leading brand and others where it is a facilitating 19brand. DSM has collaborated with brands such as Stussy, Vans, Gucci and Burberry showing the versatility of the brand working with a range of brands. The collaborations are successful at targeting younger audiences with simplistic styles and products that are accessible and desirable for those with a smaller budget.
