Doyenne of the unexpected and guerilla fashion, Rei Kawakubo, is marking Comme des Garcon’s 40th anniversary with a series of pop-up stores; introducing a temporary brand, BLACK, in collaboration with Vogue Nippon and an exhibition at parisian concept store, Colette. Writing for the NY Times, Suze Menkes pays tribute to Rei Kawakubo, crediting her with having “created black as the colour of fashion’s rebel yell.”

10 limited-time “Black” stores will roll out world wide, with the first already opened in Tokyo, followed by a pop-up store in CDG’s Dover Street Market in London, and then another in Paris. The other 7 pop-ups remain unannounced.
