Avant-Garde Brand Collaborations

BLACK COMME des GARÇONS & Nike Boast a Sporty Goth-Style Capsule

This avant-garde brand collaboration spotlights some incredibly detailed silhouettes, offering an imaginative take on sports essentials. The newly released capsule is designed in partnership between BLACK COMME des GARÇONS — the more cost-effective version of Rei Kawakubo's contemporary label, and Nike.

The garments are quite interesting, to say the least. When one mixes a label with a gothic vision and a sport-oriented company, the result is almost inconceivable. The avant-garde brand collaboration proves to strongly embrace the fashion approaches of both companies. Nike's presence is signified through clean-cut silhouettes and frequent logo placement. BLACK COMME des GARÇONS, on the other hand, is present through the highly asymmetrical cuts and the buckle-accented accessories.

The avant-garde brand collaboration is created to "relish in [the] signature agender-style of [COMME des GARÇONS]."
