GARÇON [CLIPP231] By Levi.

Contrary to popular belief, the fashion brand Comme des Garçons is not French. It was founded by Japanese creative Rei Kawakubo in the late '60s in Tokyo. The Japanese designer was inspired by a song called "All the Boys and Girls," by Francoise Hardy. Comme des Garçons itself is French though.. It translates to "like some boys". When you hear the word though you think of the scene in Pulp Fiction. Pumpkin calls out “Garçon! Coffee!” The Waitress sardonically replies “ 'Garçon' means boy.” She’s not wrong. Back in 1981, Rei Kawakubo held her first fashion show in Paris, but by then, she was already a household name in Japan — her fans were called the "Black Crows". Knowing the fashions of Comme des Garçons, it’s not hard to understand why, even though Fashion itself isn’t often easy to appreciate and let’s not even begin on understanding. But most people know what they like.  And we like Levi. 

Levi lives in Japan. 

And from what we understand, Levi understands fashion. 

You listen to Levi’s music. It's kinda catwalk music. Slinky. Low slung. Lo fi. 

Made for all the boys and girls. Or maybe the Black Crows. 'Garçon' means boy. 

Or something in-between.
