Comme des Garçons is finally bringing its "guerrilla store" concept to America. Following year-long "occupations" in Warsaw, Athens, Beirut and Singapore, the truly avant-garde house is slated to open in downtown Los Angeles on February 16. A former bank at 125 West 4th Street will be filled with all things rendered by Rei Kawakubo and then some, including the amazing men's collection shown in Paris this month, a punk rock fuck you-meets-Prince of Wales tailoring inspired by Jamie Reid, the graphic artist behind the Sex Pistols iconography. The back of one coat brandished the slogan: "Demolish the Dominator Culture." For Rei this isn't just a fashion statement. Even with the shiny new galleries surrounding CGD's downtown digs, zeroing in on this still-gritty 'hood over, say, Margiela's screwy choice of Beverly Hills, just shows the feisty old gal still has something of the contrarian revolutionary in her.
