Nothing but COMME des GARCONS

by strangefruit at Citysearch

Art as fashion, fashion as art -- COMME des GARCONS. It might not be everyone's taste, but you can't disagree that Rei Kawakubo influences the fashion world. The clothes and the accessories are always unexpected and impeccable, as well as the interior design. But the sales staffs got to re-train and they better have a lesson from the sales staffs from Japan. If you want better services, you got to spend.

• Pros: Master pieces, Subtle location, Great design
• Cons: Not-so-nice staffs, A bit expensive

Comme if you dare...

Admirers of Comme des Garcons designs will shop here despite the fact that the service is horrendous. The staff would do well to take a page from their colleagues in Japan; there the service at CDG is impeccable and shopping is a pleasure. Here the pleasure is to be had from the goods but certainly NOT from the employees, who handle each transaction with unabashed distaste. Still, the clothes are awesome and the store's design is as well.

• Pros: great clothes, cool design, off-beat location
• Cons: awful staff, high prices

Expensive, not everyone's taste

Amid all the crazy patchwork shirts and other wierd clothing are some extremely well-made classic pieces. The craftsmanship of the clothes by Comme des Garcons is impeccable. Salespeople at the store are helpful, when they know you've got money to spend, which you'll need to afford anything in here.
