We recently reported about the on-going collaboration between Speedo and Comme des Garcons. Colette has now released two of the latest swim shorts in their online store.

The Comme des Garcons Guerilla Store L.A. opened its doors this weekend. Another hot retail spot for the city, where a lot has been happening in the past months in terms of stores already.
The new store is just like most of these guerilla stores around the globe, very raw in terms of design, minimal and nothing like any other store in its surroundings. On your next L.A. trip, make sure to stop by.

The Dover Street Market online store has been updated and next to the Comme des Garcons 8 88 scent, they also sell the candle now. Also the Monocle x Comme des Garcons scent, that we presented to you a while ago, is now available for purchase.

Comme des Garcons continues to work with Speedo to create new collection also for this Spring/Summer season.
“Six months before the Summer Olympic Games, Speedo will unveil its fastest swimsuit ever today, Fastskin LZR Racer, with a design twist.

The swimwear brand has collaborated with Rei Kawakubo of Comme des Garçons to create a limited edition version of the FS LZR Racer, which uses a fully bonded fabric that Speedo executives describe as so close-fitting it’s almost a second skin.

Kawakubo, who for the last three years has collaborated with Speedo on a capsule collection of nonelite swimwear, created a logo that will be printed along one side of the suit, which incorporates the Japanese character Kokuro, or “heart, mind and spirit,” by the calligrapher Inoue Yu-ichi. The designer also has created another graphic element for a special version of the suit for Team USA that will make its debut at the Olympics in Beijing.” Via WWD.

Here we give you a first look at the upcoming Spring/Summer 2008 styles by this on-going Fred Perry x Comme des Garcons collaboration. Of course the Japanese brand remixes once again the classic Fred Perry polo, coming this time with a new stripe design and in new colors. Also they will be releasing the Fred Perry jacket as part of this collaboration collection. Keeps your eyes open for the drop!

Yet another nice collaboration between Vans and the Comme des Garcons eYe label. Here comes the Era in black and brown, styled after a classic Budapester leather shoe. Of course they also used premium leather on the upper. These have just dropped in Japan. Via Kanye’s Blog.

Comme des Garcons continues their long term relationship with French label Lacoste and has just released new Spring/Summer 2008 polo shirts in collaboration with the brand. They come in a variety of colors, partly with a tonal crocodile logo and some nice detailed stitching.
Furthermore they also made a black Comme des Garcons x Lacoste jacket out of the traditional Lacoste polo materials, with a black tonal crocodile and pockets. Reinforce just received all the pieces in store.

Gold inspires people’s wildest dreams, because it symbolizes health, wealth and happiness. Thanks to high quality ingredients such as Pepperwood extract, turmeric, coriander and luxurious geranium, Comme des Garçons creates 8 88, a fragrance that comes in a beautiful gold metallic bottle and box. Now avaialble at Colette.

Comme des Garcons joined forces with Monocle. After previously collaborating on bags with Porter Japan, a bike with Skepshult, they continue to only work with the very best and now did their own scent with Comme des Garcons – Hinoki.
“Produced for us by Comme des Garçons’ perfumer, Antoine Maisondieu, Hinoki is a cedary, woody scent inspired by Japanese hot-spring baths and Scandinavian forests.”
Hinoki is available at selected Comme des Garçons stores and monocle.com for deliveries in 2008. Via Selectism.

First pictures have turned up now of a soon to come Vans x Comme des Garcons collaboration. The sneaker brand and the Japanese label worked on the Sk8-Hi. It comes in an all black colorway, with black leather on the upper, the logo stripe and also on the mid and outer sole. The contrast stitching is a nice look on this otherwise very simple and subtle sneaker.
For now there is no release date out, but we’ll definitely keep you posted. Pic via Shinsuke Takizawa.
