曾幾何時,很多自稱潮人的少男少女都非常迷Comme des Garcons這個品牌,一個長了眼睛的黑色紅色心心是時尚還是身份象徵,就只有他們才知。但假若你連品牌創辦人川久保玲也不知道的話,也不用告訴別人你是「Garcons迷」了。若果說Vivienne Westwood是英國的潮流教母,那來自東瀛的代表人物必定非川久保玲莫屬。
被時尚界譽為「流行先鋒」、「日本時尚教母」的川久保玲,一直被視為日本時尚界最重要的三位設計師之一。她擅長的不對稱、不規則、立體波浪風格,在她第一次帶上巴黎時裝展舞台時就已經讓世界驚艷,前衛獨立的路線更讓她的品牌別樹一格,多年來都站穩時尚界。但不說不知,川久保玲原來並不是「紅褲子」出身,在她出道前從未讀過任何有關時裝設計的課程。從零知識到成為今日的教母,川久保玲靠的除了是天賦和在畢業後在布料公司上班的經驗,就是她對時尚的一套獨特體會和理解。各位潮人們,在光顧品牌之餘,不妨也了解一下這位創辦人背後的智慧吧。

Fashion is something you attach to yourself, put on, and through that interaction the meaning of it is born. Without the wearing of it, it has no meaning, unlike a piece of art. It is fashion because people want to buy it now, because they want to wear it now, today. Fashion is only the right now.
(譯:和藝術不一樣,如果你沒有把它穿上,時尚/時裝兩個字不會有任何意義。時裝對於人們來說,就是現在想買和想穿的東西。)

Comme des Garcons is a gift to oneself, not something to appeal or to attract the opposite sex.
(譯:Comme des Garcons的衣服不是用來吸引異性的。)

One should buy clothes because of how they make you feel, not look.
(譯:買衣服應該憑那件衣服給你的感覺,而不是你穿起那件衣服的樣子。)

There is a kind of burnout – people just want cheap fast clothes and are happy to look like everyone else.

I’ve always been against people who told me what to do.
(譯:我一直以來都反對那些叫我該做什麼的人。)

If I do something I think is new, it will be misunderstood, but if people like it, I will be disappointed because I haven’t pushed them enough. The more people hate it, maybe the newer it is. Because the fundamental human problem is that people are afraid of change. The place I am always looking for-because in order to keep the business I need to make a little compromise between my values and customers’ values-is the place where I make something that could almost-but not quite-be understood by everyone.
(譯:對我來說,新的設計通常會備受誤會;但如果人們喜歡,我會感到失望因為那代表我還未把設計推到另一個境界。人們最致命的弱點是他們害怕改變,所以當我要經營這個品牌,就需要妥協,所以我常常會設計一些人們可能可以完全明白;或不太能解釋的設計。)

I built my work from within instead of satisfying a demand for sexualised clothing.
(譯:我設計是發自內心的,不會為了滿足性化衣服的需求而設計。)
