Well, let me tell ya ’bout this… this “Comme des Garcons” thing. Sounds fancy, huh? Like somethin’ them city folks would wear. I ain’t no fashion expert, mind you, just a plain ol’ woman, but I seen some things and heard some things.
What is this Comme Des Garcons anyway? I hear it’s a brand from Japan, made by some woman named Ray or somethin’. Sounds like a fella’s name, but whatever. They say it means “Like Boys” in French. Don’t ask me why, French is for them fancy pants folks. But this Ray, she’s a big deal, they say. Makes clothes and hats and all sorts of things.
Now, about them hats… they call ’em “top hats.” I seen pictures, kinda strange lookin’ things, not like the hats we wear ’round here. Some are plain, some got all sorts of colors, like a rainbow exploded on ’em. City folks like that kinda stuff, I guess. They say this Ray, she likes to make things different, not the same ol’ boring stuff. Tears things apart and puts ’em back together in a new way. Sounds like a waste of good cloth to me, but what do I know?
This Comme Des Garcons ain’t just one thing, though. They got all sorts of different lines, like little branches of a big ol’ tree. One line, they call it “Play,” has a heart with eyes on it. Seen that everywhere, even on them young’uns ’round here. Guess it’s popular.
- The Real Deal: Then there’s the real Comme Des Garcons stuff, the real fancy pants stuff. Costs a pretty penny, I bet. They say it’s like art, not just clothes. Looks kinda weird to me, but maybe that’s the point.
- Why Buy It? Folks ask why you’d buy this stuff. Well, some folks like to be different, stand out from the crowd. And I guess if you got the money, why not? They say there’s places online where you can buy it, but I wouldn’t know nothin’ ’bout that. I buy my clothes at the local store, good enough for me.
- More Than Just Hats: This Comme Des Garcons makes more than just them top hats, ya know. They got all sorts of clothes, for men and women. Shirts, pants, dresses, you name it. And they ain’t cheap, I tell ya. But folks who like this kinda stuff, they don’t care about the price.
This Ray, she started this whole thing way back when, in the 60s or 70s, I think. Been at it a long time. Heard she got the name from some song, somethin’ about boys and girls. Fancy that. Seems like everything’s gotta have a story these days.
Is it any Good? Now, is this Comme Des Garcons stuff any good? Well, that depends on what you mean by “good.” If you wanna be comfy and warm, probably not. If you wanna look like you just stepped outta a magazine, maybe so. Me, I like my clothes practical. Gotta be able to work in ’em, ya know? Can’t be wearin’ no fancy top hat when you’re feedin’ the chickens.
But hey, to each their own, I always say. If them city folks wanna spend their money on this stuff, that’s their business. Me, I’ll stick to my overalls and my sun hat. Keeps the sun outta my eyes and the sweat off my brow. And that’s good enough for me.
So, that’s the story, as best as I can tell it. Comme Des Garcons, a fancy name for fancy clothes, made by a fancy lady from Japan. And they make top hats, whatever those are. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go tend to my garden. Them tomatoes ain’t gonna pick themselves, ya know.
Last thing, I heard this brand is really famous, one of the best. They use fancy words like “deconstruction” and stuff. Don’t ask me what that means. All I know is, it sounds complicated and expensive.
