Tadanobu Asano, an actor who has an unparalleled presence and is active not only in Japan but also in the world. He is currently holding a solo exhibition "FREAK" at "PARCO MUSEUM TOKYO" on the 4th floor of Shibuya PARCO, and says he respects "COMME des GARCHONS". I visited Mr. Asano and "COMME des GARKSENS JUNYA WATANABE MAN / COMME des GARENS HOMME" in Shibuya PARCO.

In a space where you can experience the philosophy of the brand
A collection of 2 lines that coexist
What I visited on this day was "COMME des GARKSONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN / COMME des GARONS HOMME (COMME des GARONS Junya Watanabeman / Comme des GARSON Omoo)". The two men's lines in "COMME des GARCHONS" are almost in full lineup. It is characterized by a silver object like a towering art piece that separates the spaces of both lines.
An authentic essence
Men'swear interpreted modernly
Mr. Asano wore this time, new 2021SS of "COMME des GARRESONS HOMME", such as hunting blousons and cargo pants with product washing. All of them are similar items that incorporate the essence of authentic men's clothing, including traditional, work, and military, with modern interpretations. "Cargo pants, sir. "I like clothes like these working people wear," says Asano.
Product dyed jacket ￥82,500, printed shirt ￥35,200, cargo pants ￥53,900, leather shoes ￥64,900
From Japanese comics to Western magazines
Collection on the theme of "books"
On the other hand, "COMME des GARKSONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN" is the theme of this season's "book" that was around designer Junya Watanabe. Items that incorporate a wide range of book images into graphics, from Playboy magazine to the manga "Dr. Slamping Arare-chan" or Czech picture book "Alpbet" to cooking recipes are eye-catching. In addition, there is a lineup of comfortable men's clothing that makes a lot of use of this line-like technique such as patchwork and stitchwork.

You don't have a bag.
A unique functional jacket
At COMME des GARKSONS JUNYA WATANABE MAN, a collaboration that exposes hot topics every time will be developed this season. Among them, Mr. Asano showed interest in the jacket that was dismantled and reconstructed from the bag pack of the outdoor brand MISTERY RANCH. "I don't want to hold a bag too much. That's why I'm worried about a jacket with a lot of pockets like this."

It does not change over the years
I longed for the way of life that I attacked
"I admire Rei Kawakubo's way of life of COMME des GARCHONS. That may be the case, but as I get older, I think I'll stop attacking. However, Mr. Kawakubo is still attacking, "said Asano.
