Comme  des Garcons Junya Watanabe MAN worked with The North Face on a couple of pieces for Fall/Winter 2009. Complementing their hunting and outdoor inspired offering of the season, they produced in collaboration with The North Face a vest in several colorways, as well as two coats. The North Face logos are embroidered tonal and nice details include cordoroy and leather patches through out the collection. The pieces are now available from Reinforce.

Today we get an early look at one product and the direction of the upcoming Comme des Garcons x Beatles collection.

“In fact, the logo of Apple Corps Ltd. — the London-based company that manages the legacy and musical catalogue of the British band — sits next to Kawakubo’s signature polkadots on a range of travel bags, the core of the collection, along with shirts and T-shirts.

Priced from around $115 for a T-shirt up to $860 for the most expensive bag, The Beatles/Comme des Garçons label is to launch Nov. 20 in Tokyo at the Trading Museum, a new Comme store concept in the Gyre building. Dover Street Market, Kawakubo’s multibrand emporium in London, is to host the British launch on Nov. 27, with a further commercial rollout planned for 2010.” Via WWD.

We will keep you posted and can hopefully soon show you more from this exciting partnership.

We take a closer look at some new items from the Comme des Garcons SHIRT Fall/Winter 2009 Collection. The brand presents some new coats, shirts, as well as some new knitwear.

Announced earlier this year, first sneakers from the Tretorn x Comme des Garcons collaboration have been released. So far they have come out with black and grey, low and high top Polka Dot sneakers. They used the classic Tretorn canvas styles as a base. The outcome is nothing impressive, yet also nothing that you can go wrong with. The sneakers are now available from Farfetch.

Artek was founded in 1935 with the idea to sell furniture and promote modern culture of habitation through exhibitions and other means. They believed in a grand synthesis of the arts and wanted to make a difference in town planning as well as in architecture and design. Today, Artek is renowned as one of the most innovative contributors to modern design. Their latest release is the STANDARD fragrance in collaboration with Comme des Garcons. “This project was conceived in the pleasant atmosphere of the first Artek and COMME des GARÇONS collaboration in 2007 at CDG’s Dover Street Market and Aoyama stores. The result is a unique product for Artek through an invaluable partnership with an organisation which is always at the forefront of cultural reinvention. The visual aesthetics of the object- STANDARD fragrance- were developed to stand along with Artek’s particular ideology and products”.
