"This dress looks like an alien!" If you think that you are an alien, you can wear it. If you feel like that, you will be able to meet new self again," says Kaera Kimura, who talks about the appeal of fashion. This year's 20th anniversary. She is free to enjoy fashion, hairstyle, and makeup as flexible as water, regardless of anything, and goes to the pop icon of the times. In recent years, in search of a school girl style that attracts attention from overseas, "COMME des GARGRONS GIRL" is a shop cruise. We also interviewed him about his thoughts on the 20th anniversary live performance to be held at Nippon Budokan in October.

I fall in love with a school girl.
24SS collection with attractive sailor colors
The brand "COMME des GARCHONS GIRL" started in 2015 by Rei Kawakubo of "COMME des GARCHONS". You can enjoy a free-spirited school girl style with a romantic approach that incorporates playful details reminiscent of uniforms, such as Peter Pan-colored Poplin shirts, sailor-colored jackets, cardigans and pleated skirts. In the 24SS collection worn by Kaerra Kimura, the school look design is further expanded and expanded, and the mood like a real uniform, such as a sailor-colored single jacket, jersey, gold buttons, and thick bottom loafers is attractive. "I thought this sailor collar jacket was very cute. When you go out to work, it's nice to wear denim with this jacket, and if you wear a dress and wear a jacket, you'll be able to wear it coolly even in important ceremonies where you have to dress properly. I think I can wear a lot of clothes."
We have a wide range of lineups from standard to limited items.
COMME des GARCHONS GIRL’s first single store
This shop along Koen-dori St. on the 1st floor of Shibuya PARCO is the first solo store "COMME des GARRES GIRL" where everything from standard to limited items gathered together. Looking up at the ceiling of the clean shop based on white, a large sphere is decorated and invites visitors to a dreamy feeling that gently wraps them with pure white clouds. The Shibuya PARCO store has a wide lineup of store-limited items entitled "COMME des GARCONS GIRL SPECIAL". Among them, I would like to pay attention to Kaera's "PU frill bag". The frill elements typical of "COMME des GARCHONS GIRL" are incorporated into the back of polyurethane material, which is familiar in the main collection, creating a light and feminine impression.
Sailor collar jacket ￥90,200, skirt ￥60,500,Flare skirt (inner skirt) ¥61,600, platform loafers ¥61,600
PU frill bags (A4 size) ¥25,300 
If you compare yourself to color, red and blue.
It's a "combat-like fantasy" color
A stripe set up with an update to the school girl style, which is the eternal theme of "COMME des GARKSONS GIRL", is also a new 24SS. The vivid red thick bottom loafer, like Caera, was chosen as an accent to the style.
"A long time ago, I met someone who saw aura on a radio program. At that time, he said, "You are a person with red and turquoise blue." So if you compare yourself with color, red and blue. But I wonder if red is a bit stronger. As he said, red is always fighting. But blue seems to be an image of playing playfully (laughs). "Mr. Caera is a combat fantasy," he said. That's why I've made a song called Combat Fantasy (2019).
The appeal of fashion is that it does not fit in the mold. Being able to become a new self. If you think it looks good on your own, you will definitely look good on anything. But if you wear clothes because you think it doesn't suit you, you will definitely lose to clothes. I love that kind of thing. "This dress looks like an alien!" If you think that you are an alien, you can wear it. If you feel like that, you will be able to meet your new self again. I think that's a great attraction of fashion."

"20 years are so long that you can change your life."
The 20th anniversary of Nippon Budokan Live
Caera celebrates its 20th anniversary on June 23, 2024. To celebrate the anniversary of the 20th anniversary, the fourth one-man live at Nippon Budokan is scheduled in October this year. I asked you about your thoughts on the 20th anniversary live performance.
"I think it's amazing. There were a lot of people who helped and were involved, and I came here. That's why I think it's really a year of thanks. Twenty years are so long that you can change your life. There are fans who have been supporting me for 20 years - such as having children, making new departures, and parting with someone.……I'm sure that the last 20 years have been a lot of time for everyone. Among them, there must be time spent listening to my music. If you think so, fans are like "friends." "We did our best!" (laughs). I would like to make it a live performance that conveys such a feeling of "thank you". I wish I could express my gratitude and gratitude for living together all the time."
