For Autumn/Winter 2023, Comme des Garçons teams up with longtime collaborator, Alisa Yoffe to release a collection of garments and bags as part of the 2023 Holiday capsule.
Alisa Yoffe, born in 1987 in Tashkent, Uzbek SSR, studied under Anatoly Osmolovsky and graduated from the Institute of Contemporary Art in Moscow. She is known for her minimalist black-and-white canvases, characterized by broad, gestural brushstrokes. Frequently pushing beyond traditional formats, Yoffe extends her art to garments, interiors, and beyond. Collaborating with renowned brands such as Cartier, Maison Margiela, Spotify, and more.
This marks her fifth collaboration with Rei Kawakubo, during which she has produced numerous grail-worthy pieces, including the iconic white-painted "love" handbags and "wear your freedom" & "live free die strong" leather rider jackets which is fetching close to $5000 on the secondary market.
This sizable bag features a print of the bold brushstroke “Comme des Garçons” text, handcrafted by Alisa herself.
