“This dress looks like an alien!” If you think, you can wear it as an alien. If you feel that way, you will be able to meet new people again," says Kaera Kimura, who talks about the charm of fashion. This year marks the 20th anniversary of its debut. She freely enjoys fashion, hairstyle and makeup as flexible as water, regardless of anything, and becomes a pop icon of the times. In recent years, shop cruises "COMME des GARÇONS GIRL" in search of a school girl style that attracts attention from overseas. We also interviewed him about his thoughts on the 20th anniversary live performance to be held at Nippon Budokan in October.

I'm in love with the school girl.
24SS collection featuring sailor colors
“COMME des GARCHONS” was launched in 2015 by Rei Kawakubo of “COMME des GARCHONS GIRL”. Enjoy a free-spirited school girl style with a romantic approach that incorporates playful details reminiscent of uniforms, such as Peter Pan-collar populous shirts, sailor-collar jackets, cardigans and pleated skirts. The 24SS collection worn by Kaela Kimura further expands and expands the design of the school look, with a sailor-colored single jacket, jersey, gold button, and thick bottom loafers, all of which look like a real uniform. "I thought this sailor collar jacket was very cute. When you go out to work, it's nice to pair this jacket with denim, and if you wear a dress and wear a jacket, you'll be able to wear it coolly at important ceremonies that have to dress properly. You can wear a lot of clothes.”
We have a wide range of lineups from standard to limited items.
Comme des Garchons Girl’s first solo store
This shop along Koen-dori St. on the 1st floor of Shibuya PARCO is the first stand-alone store of "COMME des GARÇONS GIRL" that brings together classics and limited items. Looking up at the ceiling in a clean shop based on white, a large sphere is displayed, inviting 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”. One of the most important things to pay attention to is the "PU frill bag" that Caera has. The frill elements like "COMME des GARÇONS 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 loafer ¥61,600
PU frill bag (A4 size) ¥25,300 
If you compare yourself to color, red and blue.
It's a "militant fantasy" shade
"COMME des GARÇONS GIRL" is also a new 24SS set up with an update to the school girl style, which is the eternal theme of "COMME des GARCHONS GIRL". I chose a vivid red thick bottom loafer like Caera as an accent for the style.
"I once met someone who could see aura on a radio show. Then he said, ‘You are a man with red and turquoise blue.’ So, if you compare yourself with color, red and blue. But red is a little stronger. You know, red is the one who always fights. But blue seems to be playing jokingly (laughs). He said, "Mr. Caela is a militant fantasy." That's why I wrote a song called "Fighter Fantasy" (2019).
The charm of fashion is that it can not fit into the mold. To be a new self. If you think "good" yourself, it will definitely suit anything. But if you wear clothes because you think it doesn't fit, you will definitely lose your clothes. That's what I love. “This dress looks like an alien!” If you think, you can wear it as an alien. If you feel that way, you will find yourself again. I think that’s the great attraction of fashion.”
Stripe jacket ¥88,000, blouse ¥41,800,Stripe pleated skirt ¥60,500, platform loafer ¥61,600
20 years is a long time to change your life.
My thoughts on Nippon Budokan Live for the 20th Anniversary
Caera celebrated 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 to be held in October this year. I asked you about your thoughts on the 20th anniversary live.
"I think it's awesome. There were a lot of people who helped and helped me, so I came here. So I really think it's a year of gratitude. 20 years is a long time to change your life. There are fans who have been supporting me for 20 years — children are born, start new, break up with someone.……I think the last 20 years have been a lot of time for everyone. Of course, there should be time to listen to my music. If you think about it, fans are like friends. “We did our best!” (laughs). I would like to make it a live show that conveys such a feeling of "thank you". I wish I could express my gratitude and gratitude for living together.”
