Who Is: Rei Kawakubo

Who Is: Rei Kawakubo

Rei Kawakubo, born in 1942, is the founder of Comme des Garçons. Starting as a freelance stylist some 40 years ago, it’s undeniable that her background in the fashion business is very strong. In 1973, Rei established Comme des Garçons Co. Ltd in Tokyo and opened up her first boutique two years later. By the early 80’s, CDG was now both a men’s and women’s line that went on to become a staple in Paris fashion.
