Komono x Magritte Komono and Magritte blend together like a deep blue sky and a fluffy white cloud. The connections between Komono and Magritte are both deep and meaningful. Both were born in the epicenter of surrealism: the kingdom of Belgium. His entire life, René Magritte acted as a surreal force field that warped our perception and opened up new borderlands between reality and illusion. His deceptively simple juxtapositions of day and night, of ordinary things in an exceptional context created a unique visual language that remains instantly recognizable and unparalleled to this day. Komono feels a kinship to Magritte that extends beyond their shared geographical birthplace: we are also fond of ignoring the ‘rules’, placing the common fashion accessory in an exceptional context, creating unexpected combinations and blurring boundaries between high art, fashion and design.
