Tadanobu Asano, an actor who has an unparalleled presence and is active not only in Japan but also in the world. Currently holding a solo exhibition "FREAK" at "PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO" on the 4th floor of Shibuya PARCO, he says he has no respect for "COMME des GARÇONS". Mr. Asano and I visited "COMME des GARCHONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN / COMME des GARCHONS HOMME" in Shibuya PARCO.

In a space where you can experience the philosophy of the brand
A collection of two lines that coexist
We visited "Comme des Garcons Junya WATANABE MAN / Comme des Garcons Omoo". The two men's lines in "COMME des GARÇONS" are almost full lineup. It is characterized by a silver object like a towering art piece that separates the spaces of both lines.
With authentic essence
Modernly interpreted menswear
Mr. Asano wore this time a new 2021SS "COMME des GARÇONS HOMME", hunting blousons and cargo pants with a product wash. All of these items are the same line-like items that incorporate the essence of authentic men's clothing, including traditional, work, and military, with a modern interpretation. "Cargo pants, okay? I like the clothes that people who work like this are wearing,” says Asano.

From Japanese comics to Western magazines,
Collection on the theme of "Books"
On the other hand, "COMME des GARCHONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN" is the theme of this season's "book" that was around the designer Junya Watanabe. From Playboy magazine to cartoon Dr. Slamp Arale-chan, or the Czech picture book Alphabet, to cooking recipes, are eye-catching items that incorporate images of books into graphics. In addition, there is a lineup of comfortable men's clothes that use a lot of techniques like this line, such as patchwork and stitchwork.

It's okay if you don't have a bag.
Unusual functional jacket
At COMME des GARCHONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN, collaborations that will be discussed every time will be developed this season. Among them, Mr. Asano expressed his interest in a jacket that was dismantled and reconstructed from the bag pack of the outdoor brand MISTERY RANCH. “I don’t want to carry a bag too much. I'm interested in a jacket with a lot of pockets like this."

It doesn't change over the years
I admire the “attacked” way of life
"I admire the way of life of Rei Kawakubo of COMME des GARCHONS. Maybe I'm too, but as I get older, I think I'll stop attacking. But Mr. Kawakubo is still attacking,” said Asano.
