Description

SWITCH Vol.44 No.7 is a special issue dedicated to COMME des GARÇONS and Rei Kawakubo’s continuing exploration of black.

The 2026–27 Autumn/Winter collection pushed the form of black to an extreme, returning to one of the most essential and powerful themes in the history of COMME des GARÇONS.

Since the “shock of black” in 1982, Rei Kawakubo has continued to question the meaning of beauty, clothing, form, and the body through radical fashion design.

This issue traces that ongoing creative journey, focusing on the presence of black as both a visual language and philosophical statement within COMME des GARÇONS.

A highly collectible Japanese fashion magazine for readers interested in avant-garde fashion, Rei Kawakubo, Japanese design, and the cultural history of COMME des GARÇONS.
